Sure, I can tweak it a bit, make an interior and send it over the weekend.
Can See what i can do after CSR
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT
I am already working on the vehicles for the pilot, but still I have no entry for Rainers car and I think the activity is quite low, so I now have set deadlines per episode individually to give you more time to cook something for the challenge without delaying it, since episode production is a pain and takes weeks.
Here is a little preview at the FFF studios, 1993, they seem to prepare some vehicles for a movie…
@S_U_C_C_U_L_E_N_T space for your Baumhauer is still reserved.
@shibusu same goes for Saberins for Klaus
@Mikonp7 and @Knugcab provide a Happy Frost van
@Knugcab also provides the golf cart

THE PILOT EPISODE
Trigger Warning: This is supposed to be an accurate 90s cop show, including swearing, political incorrectness (to a certain degree, of course) and the violence seen in these things. Please make sure this is suitable for you before reading.
He, Olaf! This is a brand new red Cavaliere Nobile Arco, damn the first I have ever seen in reality.
It even has cream leather like on the wishlist and the driver is alone. I will try to keep up, thankfully we have a speed limit here!
All right, Richard, nobody is watching. Drive off, I will get in it. I have my computer here. Damn, these modern locking systems are really a joy to exploit, one button, and everything is open.
HEY! WHAT ARE YOU DOING THERE? THAT IS THE CAR OF MY BUSINESS PARTNER! STOP!
The businessman chases the young car thief in his Primus Imperator, and the guy, as we know his name is Olaf, becomes nervous. Then, he discovers the car phone in “his” fancy Cavaliere.
BOSS? I HAVE A PROBLEM!
What?
Someone has spotted me, and he chases me in a Primus Imperator. I can´t shake that thing off, he drives too damn good.
Take the country road to Werlitz, directly to our headquarters.
Really? Have you really thought about that, are you sure?
SHUT UP AND DRIVE! I will handle the situation.
The Cavaliere drives into the warehouse, closely followed by the Primus, but the mastermind of the criminal organization waits there with a gun, shoots the driver of the Imperator, who then loses control and crashes, ending the chase with a huge bang. The boss is catapulted through the air, but lands more or less safely on his EMW oldtimer.
Some days later, in a police office in Berlau:
Rainer! Have you been drinking again? It smells like beer!
With my payroll, its definitely not champagner, boss.
STOP! Alcohol on duty, assault against suspects, disobeying of orders, Rainer, I can no longer stand back you if you don´t follow at least the basic rules in this department. And so, I have something for you. The highway patrol has demanded assistance from the Berlau City district, they want an investigator.
So what?
After many years out there in the slums you need a change, Rainer. I hope some fresh air out there on the highways will stop your idiotic habits. You are one of the best, but I can no longer guarantee you that you keep your job. A transfer for a case is the best for all of us. A businessman has been murdered after chasing a car thief. Since you are in the homicide unit, you are qualified.
No! I have five cases on my desk!
As your boss, I can tell you that you have ONE on your desk. This one! Report immediately at the department and get the car thieves. I can´t even tell how many cars they have stolen, because it changes every day. You are needed there.
The next day, the blue Globus of Richard enters a parking lot.
A Billancourt Elysee, grey, it has to be somewhere here.
Damn, another brand new model, propably the first in Berlau. THERE! Oh, what a futuristic shape. Now that you drove the Cavaliere last time, let me drive this, come on.
Richard, you have a pregnant girlfriend, you want the money, not the thrill.
But… that car!
All right, here nobody will spot us unless last time, I think it´s safe, I will take over your car and you will have fun with that thing.
But Richard made a mistake, stuck behind a senior driver, he makes a dangerous overtake in a corner, almost causing a terrible pileup - and that directly in front of Kriminaloberrat Dietrich Boehme, head of the Berlau police, who makes use of the police radio in his vehicle.
Hello? This is KOR Boehme! I just withnessed an accident caused by a reckless driver in a grey liftback, registration Berlau-GL 6352. I want that dumbass arrested!
Not soon after on the A-10:
Helmut, that is him! The boss himself ordered the arrest, we are already waiting too long for a promotion, DRIVE!
Ok, Rudi, but our car is no match for that guy. Let´s hope traffic slows him down.
Meanwhile, an old Mara gives up after more than two decades of service…
HELMUT, LOOK! HE IS STUCK BEHIND THE TRUCKS!
I usually hate these elephant races, but it´s useful now. Haha, now we will get you!
But Richard uses the first chance to get past, with the cops following him - and both cars face a crash now, as the hard shoulder is blocked by the Mara. While the Billancourt speeds up, the patrol car drivers know they can´t make it and brake as hard as possible.
The patrol car slams into the Mara, and starts a chain reaction including the following traffic.
Rainer Sordel is present when the whole mess is cleaned up, and he is very disappointed to not have any clue how to stop the thefts.
In the evening, Richard talks to his fellow student Frank.
Eh, Frank… can I ask you a favor?
Sure, what is it?
I need a ride tomorrow, I have an own car, but I would like to drink something there later, and Olaf doesn´t have time, he has an exam.
Yeah, no problem, just tell me when and where I should drop you off.
The next day, Rainer makes a food stop and notices a blue Saberin stopping next to a new Knightwick, with a long-haired guy exiting the Saberin and sneaking around the luxury car. He immediately realizes that this is his chance, and follows the Saberin, while alarming the others to look for the Knightwick.
In the mirror, Rainer sees how the Knightwick is opened with some kind of hacking device, and then decides to stop the Saberin by squeezing it off the road. The Knightwick is chased by a patrol car.
Damn, WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT THE HELL HAVE YOU DONE?
I am the law. I am the plumber presenting you the invoice. I am chief inspector Rainer Sordel, and you are arrested!
FOR WHAT?
Car theft. Also assisting is forbidden, you dumbass. HANDS ON THE BACK!
WHAT? I WAS GIVING MY BUDDY A RIDE! Not more and not less!
Sure, and my grandma is riding a motorcycle in a barn, yes…Get in my car!
Meanwhile, the Knightwick escapes with high speed through Berlau, causing a crash that also takes out the following police car.
When handing over the car, the boss was not too pleased about the ruined front bumper, and makes plans how to get rid of the young men as soon as they might be caugt.
He then discusses also with Olaf, who drove to the warehouse after his exam, that any word to the police will be lethal.
Without the arrest of the driver, Rainer knows that he has no possibility to arrest Frank instead, as what he had told might be the truth.
So, you had no clue that your friend is stealing cars? WHO IS IT?
You can´t force me to tell his name.
You will be surprised what I can!
Is that a threat, inspector?
CHIEF INSPECTOR! But no, not yet. But listen, a man died because he followed them, and in accidents people are injured every day. DO YOU WANT THIS? I can tell you what I want: The boss. I don´t want the small fishes like him, I want those that killed a 46 year old businessman from Zeilwies, because I doubt that your buddy is the killer.
Fine, if you promise to have a good word for him at the trial…
Yeah. Believe me, they will sooner or later want to get rid of him. Come on!
Richard Winkler. His best friend is Olaf Köhler. I guess he is his partner, because he asked me to drive him because Olaf can´t… I know his usual bar, I will try to talk with him, because I am quite sure he doesn´t talk to cops.
Hm, fine for me. But I will give you company, I wait in the car, and I will listen over radio.
You won´t be able to use this for a trial, since you didn´t inform him about his rights and the whole thing is illegal anyway.
Smart kid, eh? ONCE AGAIN FOR YOU: I DON´T WANT HIM, I WANT THE BOSS! I don´t care if the proof against Olaf is valid or not, but I need the information. I will pick you up at 9 PM at your adress.
At 21:30, Rainer turns into the Nockturngasse.
Uh, what a shady area. This is where the scum of Berlau piles up. Assassins, pimps, addicts, dealers, …
…and you?
Shut up! I will park here, it´s not far away from the bar, but nobody can see me here and that you exit my car. Good luck, here is the CB radio, turn it on so that I can hear!
Frank! Look, I need your advice. You have a mobile phone, right?
Yeah…
Rich parents, that´s what we all want, hm? So, I will buy myself one, too, do you have any advice for me?
In that moment, a drunk man ran into Frank, which caused the walkie-talkie to drop. Olaf immediately realized that the Police had a word with him and that they use Frank to get to him, and he runs away, followed by Frank
LISTEN FIRST! NOBODY WANTS TO ARREST YOU NOW! WAIT!
Rainer meanwhile uses his car to block the way for Olaf, who made it to an unoccupied taxi.
But when Frank arrived, the Taxi just drives off.
Inspector, he is gone in a taxi, a Primus, couldn´t see the number.
I bet he isn´t. This trick is older than my grandma. Go on searching!
You were right! He stops another taxi, Siegfriedstraße! Can´t tell the model.
ALMOST THERE! Hurry up and get in as soon as I show up!
Of course Olaf notices that Rainer and Frank are after him… he desperately tries to figure out a trick, and then pulls his gun against the taxi driver.
DONT`T STOP! DAMN!
Just…take the money, but don´t kill me.
I dont want to kill you, and I don´t want you hard earned money. You just need to do me a favour…
So, you use your taxi radio and tell everyone that someone tries to rob you. The guy drives a grey… eh… Eroberung ES250, registration Berlau-EW 315. You want your buddys to stop him and beat him up.
What?
DO IT! I CAN USE THE GUN, IF YOU WANT! You drive to the intersection Wilhelmallee and Luremburger Straße, they should stop him there.
Yes, yes…I will do as ordered.
Only minutes after, three taxis cut off Rainer, and the drivers stepped aggressively to him. With his gun and his badge he could avoid getting beaten up, but Olaf was gone…
The next day, Rainer interrogates Richard, but without success… on the way back, Richard is followed, and it is his boss, pulling a gun and shooting a tire in a fast corner, so Richard spins and unfortunately crashes into oncoming traffic… and being dead on impact.
The next day, Rainer drives to the university, but Olaf is not there. Instead, he spots Frank.
I am sorry about the loss. Maybe… I shouldn´t have arrested Richard, and then letting him go free. He was dead the moment he walked out.
Tell that his girlfriend and the unborn child, inspector.
I will make sure they get offered every help they need. Now I need to find Olaf before he is dead, too.
Inspector, there he is. He just arrived at the campus, bringing back the books to the library.
All right, I will follow him.
I am going with you.
NO WAY!
No, inspector, he is my fellow student and I want to make sure you don´t sentence him to death as well!
Olaf drove to a Zephorus - and stole it.
DAMN! Why is he so dumb? It was obvious that I will follow him if he goes to university, and then directly stealing a car? I thought you law students were smarter!
Inspector! Focus on the road!
Damn! That Zephorus is too fast. OH! HE LOSES IT!
Are… you ok?
ARE YOU FUCKING CRAZY, INSPECTOR? DO YOU HAVE TO KILL EVERYONE INTERACTING WITH YOU?
Suddenly, a silver Nordwagen approached, opening fire on Rainers car.
Damn! Now I know why he made it so easy for me to get him! That was a fucking trap! HEAD DOWN!
Inspector, you have turned into a dead end!
I know, that was my intention.
Are you crazy? You WON´T…
I WILL! BRACE FOR IMPACT!
BEURK! THIS STINKS!
Well, ice cream trucks were not available to land in, so I had to go for the… BAAAAH! Fish truck.
I HATE FISH!
Yeah, not the best smell, let´s get out of here. NO! Not the door. That´s too fishy outside, I have a better idea. LET´S GET DANGEROUS!
INSPECTOOOOOOR! NOOO!
Frank, I bet that the business man chasing your friends stepped into the same kind of trap.
Yes, but… they didn´t know that the guy would be following them, right?
Easy, he called his boss and they set it up spontaneously.
Inspector, I doubt that they stopped for a phonebox, as you heard on the walke-talkie, he WANTS to buy a phone, but hasn´t one yet.
DAMN! FRANK! You are a genius! HEADQUARTER, THIS IS SORDEL! GET ME THE PHONE NUMBER OF THE CAVALIERE DRIVER! PASS ME THROUGH IMMEDIATELY!
Yes, yes, it does have a car phone! That damn thing cost me 4000 Hetvesische Mark!
Do you have an invoice already from the provider? Was there a phone call that day?
No, I didn´t call anybody yet, because I was on time to meet up with Norbert…god bless him. So, I didn´t have to call.
ASK YOUR PROVIDER IF THERE WAS A CALL ON THAT DAY LATER! AND GIVE ME THE NUMBER!
Sure, inspector.
I will call the colleagues in Gronwald to write down your testimony then.
Oh, I do not live there. In Gronwald where the car is registrated is just my office, but I work in distribution and am on my way across the country anyway. My adress is Parkstraße 108 in Schweinshöhe, near Berlau.
All right, I am there in 10 minutes!
Here it is… quite far out, but I am curious if Mr. Goldstein has some interessing information for me. Frank, here are some bucks for a taxi and the keys for my apartment. You shouldn´t get directly home if the gangsters know your identity…which they surely do from Olaf. I will order an officer for protection, he will arrive before the taxi, so don´t worry.
Indeed - a number was called - the number of Max Glade, who owns an import-export business, mainly trading with Archana - and it was not difficullt for Rainer to get an arrest warrant still in the same night.
Without sleep but 12 officers, Rainer blocked the warehouse, but Max Glade tries to escape with his EMW. A chase takes place, and Rainer manages to spin the classic sports car, but it then skidded into some old forgotten chemicals that seem to be explosive…
A few weeks later
So, you passed, Frank?
Yes! Let´s see if I recieve good offers from law firms, inspector. Why are you here, by the way?
In first place to congratulate you to this outstanding archievement! And… to ask you if you want to trade a desk chair against the driver seat of a fast car.
Eh, what?
Kriminaloberrat Boehme, the headmaster of Berlaus police, thinks that the highway patrol needs criminal investigators permanently, and Berlau, Karlstadt and Zeilwies recieve two detectives. Well, I was offered the post in Berlau, and I accepted. But, I have to pick a partner now.
And why you didn´t?
Boehme showed me the files of good cops, but … I think that you would be a great cop. So, my offer is, six months paid training on the job, then you will become a cop in the rank of inspector. Mr. Boehme had to…bend… the one or other regulation, but… this is my offer. Think about it, and call me when you have made your descision.
Oh, yes, that is very surprising and unexpected, inspector.
Call me Rainer.

A good read indeed. I hope this good pilot episode will spawn some interest in providing entries for the later episodes too.
Finally my EMW SRK 4000 “Pieck-Power” found some use, as I had never entered it into the MilleMonti it was build for. 4 Liter V16 only the best for the head of state.
Also funny to name the police guy Helmut, as it reminds me of the beast movies of my youth.

Pieck Power is a such a great pun - but I suspect not everyone will get it…

The license plate I made for the EMW is another insider.
Rainer, I heard you are an expert for searching missed persons?
Yes, Rudi, it seems you have functional ears. But NO, I can not search your daughter, another unit is in charge for that. Plus, she is an adult…
RAINER! PLEASE!
Well… I can do a seperate patrol route from Frank, so that we cover more places to check on our routine patrol. I don`t like his aftershave and weird music anyway.
A few hours later, Frank was chasing two young guys having a race.
MAMBA 12-3 FOR MAMBA! REQUESTING ASSISTANCE ON A2 EASTBOUND!
12-2 to Mamba. Frank, what the hell are you doing there? I am currently in the opposite direction but not far away. I could block them from the entry at Friesdorf.
Rainer makes a dangerous turn, causing a crash.
12-2 TO MAMBA! Accident on the B44 causeway to the A2 at Friesdorf. Send an ambulance… and a driving instructor to these morons.
Not soon after, a dangerous overtake caused the driver of the Monarch to evade without looking in the mirrors, getting a slight hit from behind and pushing the Saarland into the guardrail.
The car takes off to an impressive altitute and crashes into a tree behind the barrier, Frank jumps over it by using his car as stairs, while Rainer arrives at the scene.
Frank pulled the driver out just in time before the car explodes, and Rainer found another body.
FRANK, I GOT THE WOMAN! But… she is dead, SHIT!
ww…what woman? Officers, I WAS ALONE IN THE CAR!
Later, in an apartment
Hm… nothing. The parents said that they were on a business trip, they have a bookstore and were on a trade fair until now.
Nothing seems like … something was not in order. Rainer, I think it´s the best to wait for the coroner´s results.
How does a sane and intelligent young woman get into a fucking Saarland Kaplan, Frank? What did she see in that moron? I mean, she surely didn´t enter the car for the car…
I will drive to the hospital for an interrogation.
And I check the restaurants from his home to the crash site. Maybe they have eaten somewhere and people have seen her alive with him.
NOW CONFESS!
FUCK, I DON´T EVEN KNOW HER!
Oh, a Kaplan driver not knowing a girl with good high school grades? I would usually believe that. But, SHE FELL OUT OF YOUR TRUNK! You wanted her, you didn´t get her, you took what you wanted!
I want to call my lawyer immediately! I don´t need to talk to you!
Crap, a Kaplan driver trying to be smart? Can you dial numbers yourself or should I call a nurse?
So, a trucker who was a bit too ambitious with flirting?
Yes officer. I mean, he didn´t kidnap someone or such, but he was really creepy.
Company and registration please. I will take this very serious.
Later, they got the truck.
So, the Kaplan driver is innocent, Frank?
Yes. Silke Karmann has almost no injuries. She can not have been involved in that accident, it is impossible that she was in that car.
Any traces?
The rain ruined it all.
Congratulations, and now we will have even bigger problems.
What do you mean?
Whenever a crime happens on the highway, who do we arrest first? A truck driver. They already hate us by now like the tax agency… nah, I guess its impossible to hate us even more, Frank, signals! There he is, let´s stop him.
The interrogation reveals that Ernst Zacher has a perfect alibi.
The next morning, Rainer and Frank are called to a highwayside lake - another murder has taken place, this time it´s Luisa Winter, 23, student of physics.
Rainer, now it´s a serial killer. And since it did not rain like shit… he dumped her in the lake to ruin all evidence. We need a profiler.
Oh, I can start. That guy is smart, so we can exclude Kaplan drivers from our suspect list.
Ha, ha, very funny… NOT! I will call Boehme to get us a profiler.
Don´t embarrass yourself. A real cop doesn´t need such psycho-blah-blah. Let´s drive to her apartment and not waste time.
Later, in the apartment:
Again… nothing! The boyfriend is fine, no secret lover, no stalker, no dirty secrets as it seems… HEY RAINER! DONT TELL ME YOU EAT HER PIZZA!!!
Eh, why not. The Turbo Frost frozen pizza is really good, and I am fucking hungry. And, I am very sure that Luisa doesn´t feel like eating it anymore. There are multiple in the freezer, you want one, too, Frank?
I better don´t say what I think… except that I really lost appetite now.
Kriminaloberrat Dietrich Boehme called in Petra Liehr, a psychologist and profiler, and Kriminalkommissar Frank Batimus tries to get helpful input.
Correct, Mr. Batimus… the whole thing is not spontaneous, instead, it seems well-planned. I also doubt that a truck driver did this. Most serial killers are highly intelligent anyway and work in different professions.
So, truck drivers are too dumb to be serial killers?
THIS IS NOT WHAT I SAID.
Hm. Intelligent? Well, it can not be a teacher. One was at high school, the other at university.
Intelligence, yes. But teacher would be a too social profession. The statistics prove that a serial killer with a similar pattern is more like… a surgeon for example, a person with a lot of power and social rank. A dentist for example, has less power by… not really making his work decide between death and life.
Any more to say from the information I provided?
He seems to know the area well, inspector. His profession might include driving though Berlau and it´s suburbs.
So, a sales representative then? Maybe for a highly specialized product?
Yes, inspector, this would be absolutely fitting.
Early in the next morning, Rudi and Helmut are on their patrol route, being called to a fender bender on the A10. Rudi did not sleep well, being worried about his 18 year old daughter still being missed, and falls asleep at the wheel. Helmut in the passenger seat has no success avoiding the guardrail.
Rudi is now again awake, and can not catch the skidding car, but warns the people in front of him by using the horn and the sirens, they escape just in time to not being hit in the following crash.
Rainer and Frank arrive at the scene and drive Rudi home - it is the best as long as he can´t get any sleep, he should not be on duty. While Frank has another meeting with Petra Liehr, Rainer stays for some meal as he is hungry.
Thanks, Rainer… yes, it´s best to stay away from the job as long as I am so distracted.
Yes, better stay away from Boehme. He is seriously pissed.
I guess that was it for my career, first, last year, and now, this…
What was last year, Rudi?
I stopped a car for a routine patrol… the woman driving it had weed in it, and became so nervous that she mixed up gas and brake… I thought she would run me over, so I fired a bullet, and that was sadly lethal. Her parents had a law office but were not able to sue me, as this was an act of defense, but of course, I could have reacted better…
Well, it was not that you had a lot of time to react. Very unfortunate, but I can see why you were not convicted. Anyway, what to eat?
As single father working in shifts… well… my cooking is limited to thawing up. But the Turbo Frost Pizza is really excellent.
Oh, I know that too well except for the parenting part. Good that Tur… WAIT! TURBO FROST? FUCK! You have to eat alone, I NEED TO CHECK SOMETHING!
Rainer speeds to the apartment of family Karmann and runs to the refrigerator, rips it open and searches for Turbo Frost pizza - successfully.
Frank! I knew it! TURBO FROST PIZZA in the refrigerator of Silke Karmann. Just as in those of Luisa Winter and Jana Kasallek.
So, what? Do we arrest the Turbo Frost man now or what?
Yes! Get me an arrest warrant from Boehme! I am already on the way to the department.
The profiler said that the person is intelligent and in a profession with power. A Turbo Frost truck driver is the polar opposite.
FUCK YOUR PSYCHO BLAH-BLAH! I am the superior officer and I want that arrest warrant, NOW!
I can call Turbo Frost and let them check if all three adresses have the same delivery guy, and if this is the case, I will do a background check. Cool down, Rainer.
They arrest him soon after. Dr. Ulrich Weikert was formerly a very successful lawyer, but the loss of his daughter and losing the trial against POM Rudi Kasallek ended his marriage, and without his family, Dr. Weikert lost his job to alcoholism and has to work as Turbo Frost salesman now.
So, Dr. Weikert… guess what I found out? YOU DELIVER FOR TURBO FROST TO ALL THREE ADRESSES! And not just that. Polizeiobermeister Rudi Kasallek is the guy that shot your daughter by accident. YOU KIDNAPPED HIS DAUGHTER FOR REVENGE TO MAKE HIM GO THROUGH THE SAME LOSS!
No! I HAVE ALIBIS FOR BOTH OTHER CRIMES! I AM NOT THE GUY YOU ARE LOOKING FOR!
Even then, you could be a copycat killer.
OH NO, INSPECTOR, I CAN´T! JANA KASALLEK DISAPPEARED BEFORE THE OTHERS! HOW CAN I BE A COPYCAT KILLER THEN?
YOU WOULD BE IN THE CELL ALREADY IF I KNEW, YOU BASTARD!
INSPECTOR, AS A FORMERLY VERY SUCCESSFUL LAWYER I CAN GIVE YOU THE ADVICE TO LET ME FREE BEFORE I REPORT YOU FOR DEPRIVATION OF FREEDOM!
The next day, Rainer and Frank eat Pizza for lunch.
I don´t feel like Pizza, Frank…
It´s not the one from Turbo Frost, so don´t exaggerate.
It is him! BUT HOW DID HE DO IT? Wherever he helds Jana hostage, it´s not his truck and not his home, we searched in both… without any result. By the way, the Turbo Frost Pizza is really not much worse than this… the frosting keeps all the vitamines and aroma fresh, but if you don´t frost them correctly, the freezer burn…
HOLY SHIT!
AAAH! Frank! Don´t scare me. I thought you were smart enough to know that.
I DIDNT MEAN THAT! NOW I KNOW HOW HE DID IT! He killed both way earlier than the coroner determined because he kept the bodies fresh in his truck. Silkes parents were not there, Luisa lived alone in an anonymous high-rise and Rudi works overtime in shifts, so nobody could really say when exactly they disappeared. And to not make us wonder about the water when thawing up, he dumped them in the rain or into a lake. When starting to work for Turbo Frost, it was a very bad coincidence that he is also responsible for Rudi, and he recognized him and made a revenge plan, and this includes killing innocent people to cover it up and make himself unsuspicious with perfect alibis and random victims he doesn´t have a personal connection to. BINGO!
Frank, you are a fucking genius. But we need to hurry, TODAY IS THE ANNIVERSARY OF THE DEATH OF HIS DAUGHTER. He will kill Jana just now! MOVE IT!
Hello Rudi, this is Rainer. WHERE DID YOU SHOOT WEIKERTS DAUGHTER?
Rittmeisterstraße… do we really have to go through this again, I still feel guilt…
FRANK, DRIVE TO THE RITTMEISTERSTRASSE!
There he is! Crap, he escapes. Frank, faster!
I am not your student driver.
WATCH OUT!
AH, FUCK!
Frank barely avoids the crash that Dr. Weikert caused with his dangerous turn, but the relief wasn´t for long - Weikert drives to the highway, where his Sanju has no chance against the much faster Primus.
That was dumb, we can catch up here with ease.
Yes, but not stop him, Frank.
Sure? Let´s see!
FRANK! HE SQUEEZES US! SLOW DOWN!
I CAN GET PAST HIM!
NO YOU CAN´T! BRAKE!
AAAAAAAH! CRAP! The car is just four weeks old. Boehme will freak out.
But now a BetterDeals HPD Sport tries to overtake an old Mara, and … “Sport” was just a marketing gag fooling buyers, so… this takes a bit and holds up the Sanju of Dr. Weikert…
NOW THERE, THAT IS OUR CHANCE! Frank, get closer, I will go over there.
ARE YOU FUCKING STUPID?
Jana is possibly in there. Boehme will order a violent stop if Weikert continues to be a danger for everyone on the A10. GET AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE!
Just in the moment when Rainer found grip at the handle, he noticed that the rear door is locked, but he can not get back onto the hood of Franks car - Weikert rams the BetterDeals which explodes, ejecting the driver, so that Frank has to slow down a lot in oder to not get involved.
Rainer is thrown foward, getting grip at the side door - which swings open, almost throwing Rainer off the vehicle at high speed. The BetterDeals driver lands in some tires.
Oh, Betteryear tires. Truly a better deal than my car…
Dr. Weiker takes the exit from the A10 and almost flips the truck, while Rainer tries to hold on for his life on the swinging side door. He manages to maneuver himself into the cooling box and getting the door shut, while Frank is still behind. Weikert then goes offroad and drives towards the subway rails, which are at ground level in this area. Franks car is not able to climb onto them, and the pursuit comes to an end…for now.
Thankfully, a fitting vehicle is parked exactly there, and the key is in the ignition. Frank takes the Jeep and resumes the pursuit, meanwhile, Rainer checks for his situation.
CRAP! All you had to do was following the damn train tracks, Frank!
cough cough I am so cold… Please, help me…
Jana! FINALLY! Sorry, it is so dark in here… I am Hauptkommissar Sordel, and I am here for your rescue!
Oh, engine noise! Jana, this is surely my partner! I will open the door and check… EH, FRANK! SHE IS IN HERE! GET US OUT!
Frank switches sides with a quite violent driving, but the offroad vehicle keeps going, as it is built for tough use… Rainer first helps Jana Kasallek out of the Sanju and helps her jumping onto the bed of the Jeep, then he himself follows.
Dr. Weikert notices it too late in the mirror, and when he tries to ram Frank, both Jana and Rainer were already safely on the bed of the vehicle and had grip. Realizing that he has lost, and nothing else to loose, Weikert floors his truck and steers directly into a pole, crashing with a lethal explosion.

S01E05: BUY CHEAP, BUY TWICE
Trigger Warning: This is supposed to be an accurate 90s cop show, including swearing, political incorrectness (to a certain degree, of course) and the violence seen in these things. Please make sure this is suitable for you before reading.
Rainer and Frank had to inform the widow of a trucker that died in a crash, and are in a bad mood.
Rainer, I really hate this part of the job.
You better get used to it. Traffic density is increasing, and it´s capitalism, baby! Squeeze out the most of your drives. And… oh, I would squeeze out myself for that woman, damn.
A Nonozo sports car rolls to the red light next to the lady in the Primus Ares…
Well, maybe I should have declined your offer and become a lawyer, so that I can play in their league…
Forget it, Frank. Even then, you wouldn´t be able to afford the upkeep.
You mean the woman or the car?
Both.
Both potent sports cars take off at green with full acceleration, leaving the cops in their Primus Merit tds behind.
Eh, Rainer, go for it! Let´s arrest them!
Oh, I really want to have her contact data, too, but we are the HIGHWAY PATROL! Not the Berlau city patrol. That´s not our business here.
Not much later, when approaching a red light, both drivers brake, but the Nonozo spins out of control…
This is a start to a serious mayhem in Berlau, involving multiple cars in a serious pileup.
ALL UNITS! SERIOUS CRASH AT THE VOLKMARSTRASSE AT THE INTERSECTION TO THE WALDALLEE! IMMEDIATE ASSISTANCE REQUIRED!
Frank, signals!
Eh, didn´t you just say five minutes ago that… AAAARGH! STOP DOING THESE 180S!
Mamba 12-2, this is chief inspector Sordel, Berlau Highway Patrol, responding to the crash at Volkmarstraße. We are near! Send a patrol car to Jahnstraße, a truck driver dropped his load onto the road.
Damn, that´s them! I told you we should have stopped them.
Get some air and help the fire brigade to clean the mess, I will get the driver who caused this.
Ah, Miss…
Friese. Anna Friese, ins…pector, I guess?
Yes, Kommissar Frank Batimus, highway patrol, but we were near to respond… have you seen how it happened?
The white car spun out of control suddenly, and he was on the brakes, but … not much happened.
A technical failure?
I guess so, I mean, a Nonozo shouldn´t behave like this, and it´s quite new, so it´s weird that the brakes failed.
FRANK! STOP FLIRTING! The driver claims that it was a failure of the car. Yeah, yeah, that idiot excuses… anyway, now we got the fucking paperwork stuck on our asses, move yours back in the car, we need to do that at the office!
The next day, Kriminaloberrat Boehme cites his inspectors into his office.
Ah, Sordel and Batimus, you got us a very interessing case here. I got the report from the KTU, they have investigated the Ascendente involved in the crash.
Don´t tell me that asshole was right.
He was, Rainer. His Ascendente consists of at least two or three cars.
What?
Yes. A crashed Nonozo with its chassis number, and some stolen ones… and it was all put together cheaply. Under normal circumstances, you wouldn´t notice, but when doing the race against another sports car, the chassis snapped and broke in half, making the car spin.
And what does the federal inspection say to this?
Nothing, Frank. Just recall what junk we put out of traffic every day…
Boss, that doesn´t pay off for just one car. There must be way more out there.
Yes, Rainer. So, why are you and Frank still here? Get me these lemons!
As next step, Rainer interrogates the Nonozo driver.
So, you have paid how much to this Mr. Geiger for this car?
25.000 Hetvesische Mark…
FOR A THREE YEAR OLD ASCENDENTE GT? And this was not suspicious for you?
For me this was a good deal… I made a test drive, and everything was fine.
NOTHING IS FINE! One person died, three are seriously injured. If I would decide this, I would put you in prison for murder. But good for you that I don´t have to decide. ASSHOLE!
Soon after, they are in the city center of Berlau.
So, that Mr. Geiger has his office here?
Yes, here was the test drive and the purchase.
Rainer, look… an expensive sports car!
Cavaliere Nobile Strato, yes. Guess what? Let´s tow it, I suspect something is wrong with it.
It didn´t take long until the owner complained…
So, again, Mr. Geiger has given you his car to pay for the missing rent…correct?
YES! Half a year he rented that fancy office, and… didn´t pay a single penny. When I wanted to sue him, he offered me this car as deposit. I hope he doesn´t pay, it´s a great car and it would be a bargain for me.
Propably not a bargain, but our technicians are already on it… so, Geiger left two weeks ago without any notice?
Yes, inspector. And what is with my car?
As written in the report, dangerous junk.
I didn´t know you are an expert at car mechanics.
I have tuned up a lot of mopeds in my teens, I know what to do and what not, and these welds… are illegal.
So, Geiger has fooled his landlord, but… as he never paid rent, we also don´t have his bank account…
True. But, you remember how I caused that clattering noise in my car by putting the pen into the vents?
YES! It is still damn annoying.
By searching long enough, we WILL find some proof carelessly left behind. Grab a wrench, we take this thing apart now.
Nothing! I can´t believe it!
Well, Frank, complaining won´t bring us further.
I checked the VINs of the cars. The Ascendente is from Gasmea, the Strato from Frunia… the crashed part of it. The stolen ones… that can´t be determined yet. But that means, they had to be imported.
Good point. Makes sense, the insurance history is unknown here, but they could be imported anyhow.
How about calling the customs office, Rainer? To be registered here without raising suspicion, the car needs clean papers, so the car NEEDS to be imported the official way.
DAMN! Good point, Frank. Let´s check this out.
But Geiger is still a faked identity, and their last hope is checking the harbor, as… a thunderstorm caused the train tracks between Frunia and Hetvesia to be inoperable, and at the same time, the truck drivers went on strike after the toilet fees on Hetvesias highways were doubled, so only the ship was a possible mean of transport.
Yes, a flashy orange Cavaliere Nobile Strato, almost new, but reported to have serious crash damage.
Hm, I don´t look into containers…
I understand. Here, there is a phantom image I have, created after two people who have met him…
AH! THAT GUY! Hmmmm… I think that “Leistner Import Export” was the customer for which he signed…
THANKS!
So, the plan is clear. I go inside, and if he escapes, you will wait at the backdoor.
Yep. And what about the front door?
He must assume I don´t come alone. People always use the backdoor, so keep that controlled.
Mr. Leistner, with your containers, trash cars were imported in order to commit fraud, do you have anything to say?
NO!
LEISTNER! STOP RUNNING! THIS HAS NO SENSE! LEISTNER!!!
GIVE UP!
Forget that, inspector!
EH! DON´T DENT MY CAR YOU MORON! AAAARGH, I WILL GET YOU!
MAMBA 12-2 TO MAMBA 12-3! FRANK, YOU IDIOT, WHERE WERE YOU?
At the back door? Now I am trying to block his way.
Didn´t you notice him jumping out of the window? WHERE WERE YOU?
Rainer, I HAD TO GO AROUND THE WHOLE BUILDING! And these fucking expensive shoes are uncomfortable as hell, I can barely run with them…
THEN THROW THEM AWAY AND BUY SNEAKERS, I DON´T CARE! Let´s hope the tires of your car are not too uncomfortable to chase the suspect!
Rainer, where are you?
Robert-Schob-Straße, heading west. HURRY UP, THAT MORON HAS A FAST CAR!
So do I! Wait for it, don´t push him too much.
FRANK! He is almost at the intersection to the Dieselstraße!
Perfect! NOW, BRAKE! I WILL STOP HIM!
What?
Frank slows down in order to be able to jump out of his car, using the surprise effect, doing a roll and firing onto the tires of the fugitive, while his driverless Primus catches the attention of Leistner, so that he doesn´t evade Franks bullet.
Leistner spins his Hamfa and is unconscious, but not seriously injured… the rest is an easy arrest for Frank and Rainer.
Frank, who do you think you are? JAN-VINCENT VAN DOORNE? THIS KAMIKAZE SHIT IS UNNESSECARY!
Wait, when you do it it´s fine, but when I am a hero, it´s false?
I do this when there is no other way, and if you had properly secured the building, this would have worked just fine without explaining Boehme why we damaged cars again!
Leistner confesses that he has borrowed his old friend Markus Biegel his company´s infrastructure, but didn´t suspect anything at first - he escaped because he thought it was about tax fraud, when Sordel arrived, and in panic didn´t really listen that it was about cars…
So, Markus Biegel is Jochen Geiger?
Seems so, Frank… But, nothing suspicious in here, except for a Globus and a Nonozo, the Globus is registrated on Biegel…
And the Ascendente sedan there is stolen.
How do you know?
I requested a list with car models from the brands Primus, Zephorus, Cavaliere Nobile, Authié&Dallier and other premium to luxury manufactors that were stolen recently… let´s see if its on the list… B-HG 565… blue Nonozo Ascentente 4.0… MATCH!
Now, let´s find Biegel… can you lower the lifter with the Globus? The engine is idling, as if he worked on it just a minute before we arrived… he must have escaped VERY FAST within seconds…
Sure, Frank… but that´s his own, maybe we find documents in it…
Suddenly, the V8 roars and the Globus Phoenix drives off the lifter, crashing through the window and disappearing…
12-2 to department! In pursuit of the suspect Markus Biegel, driving a yellow two door, registration B-JB 292!
He is heading out of the industrial area towards the city center! Assistance required!
Where are the uniformed? BUT IF I AM ONE SECOND LATE, THEY COMPLAIN!
RAINER, WATCH OUT! THAT CAR TURNS INTO OUR STREET!
OH NO, THE OTHER ONE TURNING RIGHT IS COVERING BIEGELS SIGHT! I BETTER SLOW DOWN!
It happened as predicted, Biegel rams the red car, skids towards the sidewalk, gets stopped but also lifted up by a lamppost and lands with his car on the bed of a pickup truck…
12-2 to department! IF YOU CAN´T GET US MORE POLICE UNITS, GIVE US AT LEAST AN AMBULANCE NOW! Suspect crashed.
But, sparks coming from the damaged Globus reached a - caused by the impact - dented and therefore leaking gasoline cannister, and … the inevitable happened. The gasoline ignited and caused a huge explosion.
FRANK, ARE YOU OK?
Yes,… but my suit, crap! Good that I wasn´t running faster with these shoes…
I take back what I said… don´t buy sneakers, keep them… they seem to bring you luck…

S01E06: EXPLOSIVE BULLET
Trigger Warning: This is supposed to be an accurate 90s cop show, including swearing, political incorrectness (to a certain degree, of course) and the violence seen in these things. Please make sure this is suitable for you before reading.
Are you sure this will work?
That gas station is in the middle of nowhere. And the safe is emptied every wednesday. So, they would be prepared for a robbery on tuesday or wednesday before the security company arrives at 8AM. But not on a damn monday.
Believe me, that´s the lowest risk possible. Easy job. Get in, collect the money, drive off. Before the local Sherriff or the highway patrol can respond, we´re gone. It would be better to leave no withnesses behind, but shooting the cashier for just 20.000 Mark feels wrong.
Yes, Leon, I don´t want blood on my hands there.
Kai, there it is. As I said, totally lonely on the L34 to Klein-Bahrow. 30 kilometers away from Berlau. Maybe low revenue, but also low risk.
OK, Leon, I have my mask and gun ready. Let´s do it.
But then a young policewoman appears with her patrol car - just two minutes after Leon and Kai pulled their guns.
Crap, no more cigarettes, I REALLY NEED THEM NOW ON MY FIRST SHIFT! Eh, what´s that? Seems like… a robbery Mamba 12-12 to department, robbery at the gas station at the L34 Assistance required!
Meanwhile, on the nearby A-2:
Rainer, have you heard that? We are not even ten minutes away.
I am not numb, HOLD ON!
No, not your famous 180s again!
In the meantime, the driver of a Mara overtakes a Knightwick, but has to abort the overtake as Rainer does of course his famous 180s, and causes an accident.
RAINER! When do you finally stop doing that?
We are in a hurry, Frank. People being not smart enough to drive isn´t my concern.
At the gas station, the young officer tries to stop the robbers.
THIS IS THE POLICE! HANDS UP! ALL UNITS HAVE BEEN ALARMED IT´S SENSELESS!
But the gangsters open fire, and she has to hide behind her patrol car.
Leon! YOU SAID NO BLOOD! Don´t shoot her!
Kai, if I wanted to kill her I would have hit. Now give me cover so that I can enter the car and let´s get the fuck out of here. Shoot her in the arm or such, if neccecary.
The policewoman has of course no clue and has to fear the worst, and when the gangsters fire again and almost hit her, she shoots at the gas pump, causing a large explosion that immediately kills the gangsters. The windows of the gas station burst, and the impact throws her on the ground.
Not even a minute later, Rainer and Frank arrive.
Oh shit, that looks bad. Frank, report now, I`ll check for survivors.
Mamba 12-2 to department. Officer down, explosion with fire. Unclear situation, maximum caution!
OFFICER! Are you ok?
I… think so? What about the gangsters, are…
FRANK! They are dead. The cashier is unconscious, but alive. Damn, what caused that mess?
I HAD NO CHOICE! YOU NEED TO BELIEVE ME!
Hey, cool down, it´s over. The ambulance will be there any second.
It turns out that the officer is Sarah Maier, having her first day at the highway patrol, and the homicide department started investigating against her. Dietrich Boehme used to know her father well, a cop that had been killed in action, and Sarahs mother developed an alcohol addiction, and when Sarah was going a bad way in her youth, Boehme took care and convinced her to become an officer, too.
Sarah will be in trouble, since she blew up the whole gas station. You are probably the best one to her prepare her for what comes now.
Are you fucking serious, boss?
No, this is not me being salty over your personal reports. Especially since you have survived a lot of investigations against your actions on duty, I think you are the best person to consult her now. Rainer, I am counting on you.
Soon after, Rainer grabs Sarah and wants to simulate the audition at the homicide department.
HAVE YOU THOUGHT OF THE COLLATERAL DAMAGE?
There was nobody outside except for the gangsters, and…
AH! SARAH, YOU HAD A CLEAR VISUAL ON THE SUSPECTS, YET YOU MISSED?
THAT IS NOT FAIR!
DOES THE FACT THAT YOUR FATHER DIED IN A VERY SIMILAR INCIDENT HAVE LED YOU TO A PANIC?
FUCK YOU!
YOU ARE NOT TOUGH ENOUGH TO WEAR THE BADGE THEN! Hey, no, don´t cry. I know I was an asshole, but you have to be prepared for such tough questions. I think it´s better when I play the asshole before you get to see the real ones. Let´s get a coffee.
A week later, the audition takes place - and it is the base for the descision if the DA starts a trial against Sarah or not, so she is very nervous. Rainer drives her and waits outside.
What if they are right? I had panic, they are right. And, I might have overreacted.
STOP! There was ONE descision to make, and you made it. If you had not reacted like you did, you could as well be as dead as they are. Those desk-asses don´t know how it´s out there, but I do. You have not done anything wrong!
The audition ended with the descision that Sarah is NOT accused, since no CCTV was left to see what exactly happens, but Sarahs patrol car being swiss cheese was considered enough of an evidence to use gunshots as self-defense, and that it is difficult to hit perfectly when you are under fire yourself. The elder brother of Leon Neuber, the successful criminal Jörn Neuber, who couldn´t be caught due to the lack of proof, swears revenge on Sarah. Back in the department, Rainer and Frank discuss the matter.
What does that mean, Boehme can´t organize protection for her?
Frank, I have heard of colleagues from the vice squad whose children get an escort service for their way home from school… by half of an MC club. AND THEY DIDN´T GET INTO THE PROTECTION PROGRAM.
So, we have to wait until Sarah is killed by Neuber?
In theory yes, but not with us. At the first sign of danger for Sarah, Boehme will relieve us from patroling and make her protection our priority. Also, every officer drives past her apartment in his or her shift.
The next day, Sarah was losing her mind hiding at home, so she wants to drive to work, and a Globus SUV follows her…
On a lonely country road, Sarah then notices that the car follows her for a long time already, and increses speed, and the Globus keeps up. It is now that both realize: This is a chase now.
The V8-powered Globus is faster and rams Sarah, who drives through a nearby park area at the border to Berlau, trying to get rid of the threat behind her.
But Sarahs old Cavaliere Nobile is no match for the mighty SUV, so she escapes to a very narrow country road to shake off the large and heavy follower.
Sarah then sees her last chance in throwing her car down a hill, and jumping out in time. The gangster stops and checks the wreck, while Sarah jumps into the Globus and speeds off. It is a car registrated on one of Jörn Neubers businesses.
Back at the department, the incident is highly discussed.
So, now we finally have something to arrest Neuber for.
Yes, Frank, but we have to find him first. And as long as we don´t, Sarah is in danger.
Well, I can take her to me, she can´t return to her apartment.
AHAHA! Yeah, I knew that you would propose that. But I know you, and I know girls like her, and I can´t be sure that you don´t take advantage of her situation.
WHAT?
Frank, I think you are a good partner, but I know that you´d get her laid as soon as possible. So, I will give her shelter. Still, you
ll get your chance at flirting since youll help me, I can´t be there 24/7, since I don´t know how long it takes for us to get Neuber.
Rainer, I didn´t think you would be such a backstabber.
Boehme himself ordered me to protect Sarah, make an official complaint to him. So, now excuse me, I need to take my guest home.
For two days, nothing happened, and Rainer was now a bit annoyed of his guest.
Ah, Frank, good that you are here. YOU CAN PLAY THE BODYGUARD NOW. Loud annoying music, putting her stuff everywhere, Sarah makes me mad. And then smoking ALL THE TIME IN MY LIVING ROOM! I get that we can´t open the windows or that she can´t step outside, BUT STILL! And her damn dog chew my shoes! And my pillows! And my window curtains! THOSE WERE A GIFT OF MY MOTHER!
Rainer, you wanted to protect her from my flirting.
Yes, and now I`ll get out and find Neuber to end this charade before I lose my nerves. Any news there, Frank?
A person matching his description is reported to have stolen a Strenus, but… its not that his appearance is that unique.
Suddenly, a Strenus appears outside… and stops. Frank, who prepares coffee while Rainer grabs his coat to leave, realizes that it´s indeed Neuber.
JÖRN NEUBER IS OUTSIDE! EVERYONE RUN! RAINER, LETS GO!
Neuber throws a grenade that … gives Rainer the opportunity to renovate his kitchen, but Neuber sees that Rainer and Frank run outside from the backdoor with guns pulled, and speeds off, while the cops follow him.
Mamba 12-2 to Mamba! In pursuit of a blue…
GREEN!
No, blue!
METALLIC GREEN!
… in pursuit of a weird color Strenus at Kirchweg heading to Teberauer Allee, registration B-DZ… eh, you`ll see it. Watch out, suspect is armed and uses grenades.
This is Mamba 12-14 to Mamba 12-2. Left the A-10 city ring at S-Bahnhof Eberberg. Spotted the vehicle.
Mamba 12-2 to 12-14, GREAT! We are just behind you. Watch out, suspect is dangerous.
RAINER!
That will work.
BARELY! Would you please not kill us?
Jörn Neuber has one grenade left, and with both police cars being more or less aside from each other, he thinks it´s now the best chance to wipe them out both at once.
OOOAAAH FRANK, BRACE FOR IMPACT!
SHIIIIIIIIIIT
But Rainer miraculously evaded the explosion and only slightly bumped into a parked car, while the patrol car was thrown through the air like a toy car.
Mamba 12-11 to Mamba 12-2. The pileup is blocking our way, and we can get our colleague out of the burning car and call an ambulance. Go get that asshole.
Roger! Rainer, full throttle!
There he is again! Frank, fire!
Shit, I left my gun in your house, we were in such a hurry.
AMATEUR!
So, give me yours then.
Well, as you said, we were in quite a hurry.
Damn, he can´t merge there at that speed, especially since there is a bump. STOP!
He will. All right Frank, you got an airbag there.
Neuber squeezes through the little remaining space, but causes all other drivers on the intersection to either spin or crash - Rainer loses the rear of his Primus when trying to evade, and spins into another car, but his car is still driveble and able to continue the pursuit.
Mamba 12-2 to Mamba. We need a fucking roadblock to stop that bastard! He is now heading northwest on the Löwenstraße.
Mamba 12-8 to 12-2, Helmut here. Frank, you got your roadblock.
Finally! Now look for cover, he will be there soon!
Neuber indeed arrives only 30 seconds later, but knows that he is doomed if he stops, so he accellerates the Strenus.
Frank, that doesn´t look good.
Slow down!
Yeah, better not being hit by debris… OOOAAAAH! INCREDIBLE!
HE SPINS AND CRASHES INTO THE STORE!
Yep, and continues driving, let´s go!
No!
Come on, I want that asshole.
WATCH OUT! What´s in all these shelves and boxes?
Didn´t you read the sign? Window curtains. Enough to replace the chewed ones in your apartment.
OH FUCK! THEY ARE EVEN UGLIER THAN MY MOTHERS! REMOVE THEM FROM MY WINDSCREEN!
It´s raining shelves and boxes, use the damn wiper! I won´t stick my head out there.
YEAH GREAT! NOW THEY GOT JAMMED ON THE WIPER AND I CAN´T SEE WHERE I AM GOING. DEAR GOD, ARE THEY UGLY!
STOP THE CAR! I don´t want these fucking ugly window curtains to become the last thing I saw in my life!
NAH, I ALMOST HAVE HIM!
Neuber crashes out of the back showcase window, but was prepared for a sharp turn, while Rainer had no idea where he was going.
Frank, daylight! Where is Neuber?
I have no idea, BUT THERE IS A PHONEBOX!
OOOH SHIIIIIIIIIIT!
Are you OK, Frank?
I HATE WINDOW CURTAINS! You blew the battery. The radio doesn´t work anymore. Great, really great! I told you to stop when you had no sight out of the windscreen.
Is the cable of the phonebox still connected? Here are a few coins, go and alarm the department for backup.
I will strangle you with ugly window curtains for this, really!
Yes, this is Frank. Neuber is last seen heading east on Vogelsangstraße. He is leaking coolant, he won´t get to far, move everything you have. And, eh, we need a towtruck.
Neuber successfully escapes to a backroad near the A10, leaving the Strenus that was already limping at low speed, removing any evidence with a grenade and driving off with his Globus Comet… only a minute before the police arrives.
A few days later…
Rainer, you should really stop waterboarding our informants. This is surely against some human rights convention.
I don´t care about human rights when I want again peace in my apartment! And a new kitchen!
I mean, I could gift you some window curtains for it for christmas.
DONT YOU DARE! So, let me get out, I`ll use the stairs. We do that arrest now as discussed, good luck.
Jörn Neuber leaves the parking lot, but suspects something.
Hm, a brand new Primus Merit, weirdly parked at the exit? I think that´s suspicious…
Frank notices he has been spotted and blocks the way, but Neuber tries his best to avoid Frank and leave the parking deck.
Rainer appears out of the staircase and blocks the way, and since Neuber directly speeds towards him, he shoots Neuber who then crashes into some parked cars.
Damn, Frank, I almost hesitated to shoot.
But you didn´t, so that will be our next audition, then.
Don´t be kidding. I did what I had to do. I mean, he could have stopped. Or at least TRY to avoid running me over. And, because I briefly hesitated, I was running out of time to aim at the tires, or the radiator, or whatever.
I know. Still, I feel like…
Like what, Frank?
How much misery a single wrong descision causes.
Frank, neither did I or Sarah do anything wrong!
I meant the robbery. Both Neuber brothers would be alive, Kai Münch would still be alive, Sarah wouldn´t be such a chainsmoking mess, and… we had a lot less paperwork.
And we would drink a lot less beer, come on, I`ll invite you after the scene is cleared.

Sarah, don´t get me wrong. I just think that we do not need another greenhorn in the team. You might be a good cop, but I already needed a year to make Frank an helpful partner.
Rainer, just take me serious, ok? If you do not want me to be your partner, fine, but just do not judge me.
I do not. It is just that making you an inspector a few months after your first day after graduating at police academy was a bit hasty by Boehme, even if your father was a good cop and you are propably too. He must know a LOT of infuential people at the staff council.
So, you want to spend your shift telling me how much you hate working with me?
Nope, Sarah. I just don´t want you to try to be a hero, as I did with Frank. You can do the stuff that I do when you have routine. Is that a… more acceptable attempt? Ah, forget about it, possibly also bullshit.
No, Rainer, I think this is the first time we actually understand each other.
Mamba for Mamba 12-2, huge demonstration at the headquarter of the HelixPharm AG. Please check for anything suspicious on the highway, reason are possible assaults.
Sarah he… eh, Mamba 12-2 to Mamba, what do you define as suspicious?
Whatever you consider suspicious, over.
A bit later, a red Cavaliere Nobile Zenturio speeds dangerously.
Sarah, what are you doing? Don´t activate the siren.
Why not? That´s a case for us!
We are detective inspectors, our business is crime, not traffic offenses. Please inform the department to send a patrol car to stop him.
RAINER! What if he kills someone, like crashing into a family car with babies in it?
Imminent danger is NOT the justification for everthing.
But for a lot, right?
Yeah, all right, let´s get him. But that´s a fast car, inform the colleagues to slow down traffic further ahead.
Indeed, there is a fair bit of traffic, and the Cavaliere has trouble getting past it.
12-2 to Mamba. In pursuit of a burgundy Cavaliere, registration Berlau-TT 1111. Driving on the A11 inner city ring clockwise. Last seen at exit Zimmerstraße. Please slow the traffic down a few kilometers ahead, he is fast.
Mamba to Mamba 12-2. We have a hard time sending you assistance that fast onto the A11. But our traffic monitoring indicates dense traffic, so you should get him.
Come on, DRIVE YOU MORON!
Rainer, please dont tailgate like that.
Calm down, there is an airbag!
Mamba to 12-2, car was spotted at exit Antonplatz, still driving onto the A11.
We almost have him, good. MOVE OVER!
But disaster already happens, an ACR loses the box on his roofbox, forcing the car behind to swerve - directly in front of the speeding Cavaliere, and the inevitable crash turns into a chain reaction.
The following Aurora can´t brake fast enough, since the Cavaliere squeezed in right before it to then crash into the evading Primus in front…
More and more cars get involved, and a spinning Ilaris crashes against the Aurora and flips, skidding on the roof and then getting stuck.
Now the accident turned into a mass crash…
A Saarland Kaplan approaches, and the driver can not brake because a bottle has rolled behind the pedal… as last way out, he takes the flipped Ilaris as ramp, flies quite a distance and lands hard behind the crash scene…
OH SHIT! RAINER, THAT LOOKS BAD!
Yes, because it is. Call ambulances and the fire brigade, people might be stuck in the cars. Let´s get them out quick if possible.
Rainer, EVERYONE IS ALIVE!
What a miracle. The ambulances are on the way, let´s arrest the driver…
Meanwhile, the HelixPharm boss, Heiner Benning, is found dead in his office. And, the building up traffic jam on Berlaus Rush Hour blocks almost all traffic in Hetvesias Capital…
Mamba to 12-3, Frank are you there?
Goddamned, I was JUST ABOUT TO GET SOME FOOD. I am hungry after arresting smugglers.
The homicide department asks for assistance, since they are stuck in a traffic jam and you are nearby.
Call the damn Kriminaldauerdienst.
That traffic jam is serious, there was a pileup on the A11…
A11 at rush hour? Dear god. What kind of homicide?
The CEO of the HelixPharm AG died, and the doctor suspects it was not a natural cause.
Now THAT is interessing. Propably a career boost if I solve that case, I am on my way.
Meanwhile, Frank manages to get past the demonstrating masses and talks to the secretary of Mr. Benning.
Madam, if the investigative journalists are right with their accusation, your company is involved in environmental violations, fraudulent accounting, and corporate espionage, and not to forget a climate of intimidation against employees.
Do not believe what is on TV, that is all unrealistic.
Somebody must have killed him, and people rarely do this without reason. So, what has your security service to say so far?
Follow me, Inspector Batimus…
Checking the security cameras reveals that five people visited the CEO, and all of them had a reason to get rid of Benning. A former employee that was fired by the boss himself, a business rival that lost a major contract due to the underhanded tactics of Benning, and a whistleblower who was about to expose the companys illegal activities, as seen in the news, the wife, who is in a bitter divorce and also an activist, being against the company’s unethical practices and sneaking into his office to spill fake blood there.
Soon after, Rainers phone rings…
Sordel?
Yes, Frank here. What exactly is going on on the A11?
Sure you want to know?
Yes, because I am investigating a murder…
You WHAT?
I will explain later. All my suspects have to use the A11 clockwise to get home, and maybe you could check if they are stuck in the traffic jam.
DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY CARS ARE STUCK HERE? THAT TAKES AGES!
So, I start with Michael Lotz, driving a burgundy Ca…
Are you kidding? That idiot caused this mayhem by drunk driving!
DO NOT LET HIM GO! And please check for the others. I will give you the names and registrations.
Why is that my job?
Because getting there is quite difficult at the moment, Rainer, and you are already two persons, split work with Sarah.
Frank, take it easy. You are two ranks below me, I refuse to accept your commanding tone. Yes, I will do the investication, but keep a low profle, otherwise we will get in trouble. Understood?
OK, Sarah, time to make yourself useful. You remember the notification about the protest at that shady Pharma company? Their CEO is death, and the doctor said it was poison. Five people are suspected, and one of them is our crash pilot here. And that punk with that loudspeaker car is another suspect too. Let us put some pressure on them.
Mr. Lotz, yesterday, you had a heated confrontation with the boss after being fired. You were escorted out by security, vowing revenge. Cameras show that you entered the building today again.
Yes, but… I wanted to wait for him, but then… I just ran out and got drunk! I suggest you look for Laura Adamski. Laura met with the boss in a failed attempt to negotiate a truce. The meeting ended badly, with Laura threatening to take him down by any means necessary. And I saw her in the building!
We will, Mr. Lotz, no worries.
HANNA LÖFFLER?
Yes, sir…
Why is there a loudspeaker on your car?
It was helpful for protesting.
But you did not stay outside. Instead, you went inside, got into the office, and then ran out and you escaped very fast with the car. Briefly after, Benning was dead. So…
HE IS DEAD?
Do not play the innocent here. You are one of my top suspects, and you better tell me what happened.
I confronted Heiner Benning during a public protest, accusing him of destroying the environment. I was escorted out by security but promised to make him pay, BUT NOT BY KILLING HIM!
And, you think I believe this?
Inspector, you should interrogate Arne Langhans. He has collected incriminating evidence against the boss but is also implicated in the shady deals. He feared going to jail if the whole story came out.
You better speak the truth there, young lady!
Sarah, I spotted the Fanella of Mrs. Adamski. It is right up there, I will continue there. This Arne Langhans, well, the Allen is right there behind the Barrier.
Well, do you think that we can solve the case just by interrogating people stuck in a traffic jam?
The first 48 hours are very important, after that it is not impossible but of course much harder. Frank ordered a helicopter to transport the body to the ME since the roads are blocked, we should get results of soon.
Results?
He has been poisoned. But we do not know with what, anyway, I think it´s this activist or his wife.
Why?
Poison is a way to kill someone that is highly favorized by women. My gut feeling says it is one of them.
I can´t listen to that bullshit any longer, see you later…
Driver! What is going on there?
Mrs. Adamski, I have no idea. Propably a serious crash.
Heiner Benning has been murdered, I just got the call. Please get me a bottle of champaign out of the trunk.
Haven´t we been just there an hour ago?
So what, your job is driving, not asking questions. So please, I am in celebration mood.
Sure, madam.
Benning?
Mrs. Benning… this is Laura Adamski. Your husband is dead, murdered, my informant told me.
Informant? I knew you were using dirty tactics as well, and you were about to be exposed. I have seen you in the building today!
Mrs. Benning, do not lean yourself out of the window. My informant is good. You have been secretly siphoning funds from your joint accounts and funnelled them into offshore accounts, which your husband recently discovered. If I was you, I would call a lawyer now…
Mr. Langhans, you are not that innocent, as we have heard.
Bullshit!
You did espionage on behalf of the Wiemann AG and were paid by CEO Laura Adamski. Plus, you were profiting from the dirty deals of Mr. Benning.
Why don´t you arrest Michael Lotz? Did he tell you why he was fired? Mike has been embezzling small amounts of money from the company for months. He was worried the boss discovered it, leading to his abrupt firing.
Mrs. Adamski?
My time is limited. What do you want?
I am chief inspector Rainer Sordel. I am investigating the…
The death of Heiner Benning.
How do you know?
I have radio and TV for the backseat here. Don´t you think that has already been on the news?
You have no alibi, you were in the building, and that in the time in which your rival was killed.
You should arrest that activist, I think her name was Hanna, that had broken into the company’s records to find proof of environmental violations, and Benning caught her. She was threatened with legal action if she didn’t back off and… she had to avoid by being sexually harrassed by Heiner Benning. I think, this IS a reason for murder, if you ask me, inspector.
Mrs. Benning, you and the boss had a bitter argument over the divorce settlement. You accused him of hiding assets and threatened to ruin him.
So what?
So you can not act like the shocked and grieving widow anymore, I am afraid.
CAREFUL! How old are you? 22? 25? You are at the beginning of your career, and it would be a shame if it was over soon, right?
Are you threatening me?
I was just asking a question. Would you mind giving me your badge number, inspector?
Not at all. You will not intimidate me.
At the same time, Frank managed to get to the coroners office.
So, make it quick, we are under time pressure.
Please, Mr. Batimus, be patient. So far I can say it happened around 2 PM.
Well, that is helpful. But the security cameras just showed the people ENTERING, not leaving. So, all my suspects had entered by that time, but…
BUT THIS IS YOUR JOB. I did mine, and now make the best out of it, Inspector.
After an update to Rainer and Sarah, Frank got the task to check the statements that the suspects made.
Frank, have you checked the alibis, now that the coroner could determine the time of the poisoning?
Damn, Rainer, I have to drive a lot of detours to not get into one of that damn traffic jams! The phone records of Adamskis lawyer revealed she was indeed in a heated call with her lawyer at the time of the murder. The conversation was about an unrelated business deal, supported by the lawyer’s statement.
And the others?
I AM ON IT!
A bit later…
Rainer?
On the phone.
Security footage showed Michael Lotz leaving the building NOT out of the parking garage since his keys were revoked, and after leaving via the main entrance, he was seen heading straight to a bar after his outburst. His alibi is solid, the bartender confirmed it, and well, the alcohol test you did, too.
This leaves us with Langhans, Löffler and Miss Benning.
Damn, how long does this take, inspector?
As long as neccecary, Mr. Langhans. By the way, where have you been at 2 AM? You have no alibi yet.
HAH! I do have. I was caught in a speed trap on the Birnenallee. There was an officer in the car, you can ask him if he noticed my car.
YOU HAVE NO ALIBI! AND WE KNOW WHAT HEINER BENNING DID TO YOU! Why did you not come to the police? Intruding a building is a joke compared to a rape! Why did you put justice in your own hands? WHY DO YOU WANT TO SPEND YOUR WHOLE LIFE IN PRISON, WAS THAT WORTH IT? MISS LÖFFLER, I AM TALKING TO YOU!
Then, Hanna Löffler suffers from a panic attack, having a breakdown and almost fainting, being frozen and unable to continue speaking, and Sarah called an ambulance.
Ah, there you are. Oh, that looks serious. You are a bit pale and sweating, and you are shaking… better enter quick…
YOU ARE NOT HERE FOR ME! It´s that young lady on the ground. Damn!
Rainer headed to the trunk of his car, grabbing something, but Sarah surprised him.
RAINER! Is that… wodka?
None of your business.
So this is why you are so nervous… you are shaking and you lost temper in the interrogation! It was an open secret that you are alcoholic, but you can NOT continue your service like this!
WHO ARE YOU TO SPEAK UP TO ME LIKE THIS?
You have been rude to me earlier this day because you were worried that I will face the same fate as my father and die in action. Do you think I do not care about you? I am worried, you idiot!
Well… I think one of your cigarettes might do the job until I am finally home.
Rainer, didn´t Frank say that the activists were filmed by the security camera… having a camcorder with them?
So, you think, they filmed at the time of the murder? And we could see if Hanna is there or not? Good idea! Call Frank, I will buy ourselves some time.
What do you mean, with cleaning up slower?
I can´t open the barrier yet. Fake a breakdown of your vehicle or something, I need to keep the suspects stuck here for another hour at least.
I HAVE KIDS WAITING AT HOME!
I do not, so execute the order.
So, they hide here?
Yes Frank, there was no camcorder in Löfflers car, but the map was marked there. It must be their hideout.
Ok, I found somethink like a … container. Fresh tire marks.
SHIT! ENGINE NOISE! THEY MUST HAVE SPOTTED ME!
Frank, the camcorder is vital for the investigation. And we are running out of time!
Frank chases the red sedan through the industrial area.
Amelie, he is still behind us.
That is a brand new Primus! How am I supposed to shake him off? Damn, I thought it was an investment banker trying to evaluate the property.
Nah, I knew it was a cop. Haven´t you heard it on the radio? Benning is dead! And now they want to blame us for it!
Mrs. Benning, I suggest you call your lawyer. You do not have an alibi. And you…
Inspector Maier, enough. What you do here is deprivation of freedom. I want to speak to your superior officer NOW.
But the red Lata does not make it through a corner and crashes into a parked car…
Frank blocks the way and pulls the gun.
GET OUT!
WE HAVE DONE NOTHING WRONG! IT WAS NOT US!
I know.
What?
You dumbasses! Your friend Hanna Löffler is in trouble, and I CAME HERE TO ASK YOU TO HELP HER!
But… how?
Your camcorder! Where is it?
Oh no, inspector… I think it did not survive the crash…
And there went all proof that your friend was with you at the time of the murder. BRILLIANT!
But the cassette is still intact.
Well, my patrol car has a monitor in the trunk to show the highway maniacs their violations that I just filmed. Let´s see then. Assistance is there, DONT MOVE! You still caused a crash. IDIOTS!
Meanwhile, it is 8 PM, and it has turned dark, with the people caught in the traffic jam freaking out.
FRANK! FINALLY! So, what is the result?
Rainer, Löffler is innocent. They filmed her around 2PM holding a banner. And by that time, she was already thrown out by security for … ten minutes. Bennings last call was made at 1:53 PM.
And who did he call?
His banker. And that leads us to…
Miss Benning, I arrest you for murder of your husband. You have the right to call a lawyer, and the right to say nothing. Everything you say can be used for or against you.
WHAT? Inspector Sordel, this will have consequences.
Yes, for you. Your husband called his banker before he died. He definitely knew about your money in offshore accounts. You used your familiarity with the building’s security routines to sneak into the office and out of it, avoiding the main entrance, but you were filmed by some activists how you have thrown a lipstick in the bin, and you walked back in to get to the parking garage and leave with the car, since you had to fear being stopped by us on the way back, depending how fast your husband would be found. Of course, we checked it, and the lipstic contains exactly the fast-acting poison used in the murder.
Julia Benning put out a knife and threatened Rainer to give him his gun and car keys, as his car was not stuck in the traffic jam.
RUNNING AWAY HAS NO USE!
CORRECT! I am Kriminalkommissar Batimus, you are arrested! Freeze. I will shoot before you can even raise that gun!
When the barriers were removed, the traffic started to roll again, and the three officers discuss at the scene.
Sarah, Frank, this was good work.
Do you think she has done the world a favour by killing this monster?
Maybe, Sarah, but she did it out of the wrong motive. Greed is hardly better than what her husband did. Frank, what is your opinion?
That we should go to bed. This was tiring.

S02E05: The Escape (Part 1)
Trigger Warning: This is supposed to be an accurate 90s cop show, including swearing, political incorrectness (to a certain degree, of course) and the violence seen in these things. Please make sure this is suitable for you before reading.
A man tries to escape a prison by doing a very simple trick and is easily caught. A few days later, a prison van leaves the Berlau state prison to head towards another one…
Meanwhile, in the office of Kriminaloberrat Dietrich Boehme:
Rainer, what is your concern?
The transfer of Erwin Kramer is one of the most important jobs, as it is Hetvesias most famous and most dangerous mass murderer. Why are you letting Helmut and Rudi…
PETERSEN AND KASALLEK ARE EXPERIENCED AND RELIABLE OFFICERS! Rainer, this is a routine procedure. Everytime somebody tries to break free, they will be transferred. This happens … at least once a month and Petersen and Kasallek have done well. What was written in the nightbook?
Stolen tanker truck. I already ordered Sarah to investigate, but I doubt anything interessing will be told.
Good. Rainer, you and your team owe me reports of the last two weeks. Get to your desk.
Meanwhile, Helmut and Rudi in the Eroberung join the convoy, as the prison van is protected by two patrol cars, and they merge onto the A2 without inconvenience.
Some kilometers further ahead, a businesswoman is discussing with a trucker.
An empty trailer would have been fine, too.
Yes, but since I had only one day to organize a truck with trailer, I SADLY was unable to drain it all and sell it for profit.
Kramer counts on us. Don´t mess up, understood?
Back in the office, the discussion between Rainer and Frank is heated.
Frank, something is weird. I am surprised Kramer tried such a cheap trick. He is highly intelligent and just tried to rip off the keys from a guard…
Yes, I guess he was just bored or trying to get stories for his next book.
Oh, Frank, dont start this. Becoming a multi-millionaire by writing how he murdered 26 people for nothing is so disgusting… anyway, he propably wanted to check if the construction site on the A2 is still there… when he was caught 3 years ago, it definitely was there, and so it is now.
RAINER! WAIT! What if… he provoked the transfer because HE WANTED TO BE TRANSFERRED?
You mean, … he wanted to be transferred because he has a plan? And…
YES! He planned an escape on the highway. NOW, LET´S INFORM THEM. What´s their radio code?
Meanwhile, two people discuss aside of the A2…
So, as soon as the convoy shows up, you follow them in a range of 50 meter. Then the signal will be jammed with the device onto your antenna. Any questions?
Yes, when will I get paid the other 50 percent?
When Kramer is safely outside of Hetvesia.
So, do I have communication at least?
Of course NOT! It blocks mobile phones and police radio, nothing works. You just follow the convoy without acting suspicious, comprende?
Ok, ok… and then we meet up at that bar and split the money?
Yes, I know you are broke but don´t stress me. NOW, THERE THEY ARE! HURRY UP!
Meanwhile, Sarah is getting a call from the department.
Mamba 12-3 for Mamba 12, please respond! Sarah, it´s Frank! We can´t get contact to Rudi and Helmut, and we think an attack on the convoy is planned or even already in place. Are you already on the A2 westbound?
Yes. I am at kilometer 603.
THAT FAR AWAY? The convoy must be at kilometer 637. Hurry up, I will join you!
Now Frank and Rainer are hurrying to the cars…
…while Sarah plows her way through traffic to close up with the convoy.
Frank, we split up!
What?
Yes, you will catch him from the highway, I will take the route with the country roads in case they leave the highway.
Roger.
Frank speeds on the A2, catching up on Sarah…
I will join you soon!
How that?
200 compared to …115 horsepower? DAMN, MOVE OUT OF THE WAY! WHAT IS THE USE OF TURBO AND VIER AWD SYSTEM WHEN THEY ARE DRIVING LIKE UNDER NARCOTICS?
Frank, I still can´t get through to Helmut and Rudi…
I know. I hope it is not too late!
5 minutes later, Frank overtook Sarah at 200 kph, and they discuss the plans…
So, I have calculated, if the convoy proceeds at 100 kph, we have them in like 20 minutes… I am sure it happens at Zassow, because there is a small airport…
Why, Frank?
The fastest and safest way to get out of Hetvesia is a plane! And that´s a small airport without police control or any security near the route of the prison transfer. It is by far the most logical thing! You will take the exit at Zassow and head to the airport, it´s another 18 kilometer from there.
But the driver of the Nordwagen that they just overtook noticed the two cop cars speeding…
URSULA! The police just passed me at high speed with two unmarked cars, and they are quite in a hurry to close up on the van. They must have suspected something. Are you still at Zassow?
Yes, I will now start plan B, the truck will be on time. Leave the highway at Zassow, since it will be blocked soon. Then merge at Jakobsburg again and try to overtake the convoy, plan C will take place, we need sniper assistance.
The lady orders the truck driver to start plan B, whatever that means, and speeds off herself to an unknown direction.
Meanwhile, Frank and Sarah seperate ways as planned.
Only five minutes later, a truck driver causes his trailer to get loose and flip intentionally, and manages to escape, while the trailer blocks the A2…
The following cars can not react in time, a Hayaku and an Aurinko crash, while the driver of a Splitfin GT can react in time and stop the car only centimeters before disaster. Still, everyone leaves the dangerous situation immediately…
… and this is neccecary, since a Mara Bizon pickup truck can´t stop in time, unlike the Imperator with far better brakes… and with the weight of the pickup, the gasoline in the tanker trailer is finally ignited, causing an inferno, directly in front of Frank who approaches the scene in his Baumhauer 318t Vier at almost 220 kph…
Franks only chance is using the lost load of the Mara as ramp… and praying.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
After a hard landing, Frank was able to leave the car, and except for a few bruises he is fine… and can´t really believe how lucky he was.
But, with the elimination of Franks car, the gangsters now have more time - Rainer is still needing time, and so does Sarah who got lost on country roads. The gangster in the Nordwagen managed to overtake the convoy and get into position, shooting at the Eroberungs fuel tank with his sniper and blowing the car up.
The driver of the other police car, but also the van driver, desperately try to contact the headquarter, without effect, since the car with the signal blocker is still with them.
An ARVA now speeds up, since the van and the patrol car do evasive maneuvers, and the ARVA rams the patrol car, spinning it so that the van crashes head on into it, despite braking hard.
Kramer in the back of the van got a bit shaken up, and needs to be helped to the Zephorus that was now delivered to him as getaway vehicle.
As you ordered, their newest model with a 4.6 liter V8.
Thanks, Ursula! I will fulfil my part of the deal as soon as I am on a nice sunny island.
The gangsters then get into their vehicles and leave the scene.
Rainer arrives 6 minutes later, and has to find out that the officers guarding the convoy were shot. But one is still alive with last breathe.
HEY! WHERE IS KRAMER? AND WHERE ARE HELMUT AND RUDI?
D…ead…
WHO? KRAMER?
O…officers… Kramer escaped in a white… Zep…
WHAT? NO, STAY ALIVE! HEY! Shit!
Rainer has to fight some tears before being able to give an update to the department.
Mamba for Mamba 12-2, please… respond. Kramer has escaped in a white Zephorus. Two dead officers here, and… I was told officers Petersen and Kasallek also did not make it.
Sarah here! What? They are dead? But…
GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER! Please… do not cry and let emotions take over. I need you now more than ever. Where is Frank?
We seperated ways and…
HE MUST HAVE ARRIVED BEFORE ME! SHIT!
You mean, Frank is…
NO! Do not think that way. I am quite sure that Frank is still somewhere out there and fine. Kramer escaped in a white Zephorus. But I do not know where he is heading.
Frank told me that he wants to get to the small airport at Zassow…
RIGHT! I WILL DRIVE THERE. Watch out for the Zephorus.
Kramer meanwhile enjoys his freedom and indeed heads towards Zassow airfield.
RAINER! KRAMER! He is driving into the opposite direction on the L44! Right to the airport!
BLOCK HIM! I AM 5 MINUTES AWAY! BUT BE CAREFUL, HE IS A MERCILESS MONSTER!
Sarah does as ordered, but Kramer, noticing that he has the gun in the trunk and not ready now, tries to squeeze past Sarah, but the cars collide, catapulting Sarahs Knightwick up in the air.
Just when Sarahs car landed more or less safely, an SUV is unable to stop in time, and by doing an evasive maneuver, the driver at least did not ram the passenger compartment but the rear quarter of Sarahs car, but loses control and smashes into a tree.
Sarah exits the wreck of her Knightwick and wants to check for the driver of the SUV, but he is dead… Sarah realizes that he died by trying to not kill her in the impact, but has no time to let emotions take over as Rainer arrives and orders her to enter his car.
The forest? WHY?
The whole police force is after him. All roads are blocked. If he wants to reach the airport, it only works through the forest because there is nobody present… YET! Hold on tight, Sarah!
This does not look like we have the right tool for the joooooooob…AAAAAAAAAAA!
Neither has Kramer, our car is still way better in that conditions than his sports car.
Not even five minutes later, and by using a compass to determine the right direction, Rainer has closed up on Kramer.
OH NO! A paved straight line. That´s not good. Sarah, SHOOT!
I… can´t, I really can not move at the moment…
REALLY? HOW CAN SUCH COWARDS BE ALLOWED AS INSPEC… Sorry. I was unfair. I guess I am just too used to the dark sides of this job, please do not take serious what I was about to say about you. That paved road will end somewhere, and then he´s dead in the water again.
But when this was the case, Kramer was out of sight, and the inspectors could only guess where he would be…
Kramer meanwhile sees a chance to get rid of the Zephorus that struggles more and more with offroading and starts to fall apart.
The inspectors also spot the lonely house, and think that Kramer could hide there, so they enter the property and find the Zephorus there… but without Kramer.
Sarah, let´s be careful. I watch your back, and you watch mine. Kramer is one of the most dangerous people I have ever chased.
Rainer, have you removed the key from our car?
No… damn, go get it, but I also haven´t heard engine noises, so that was on time. Good idea, Sarah.
Unaware of the fact that the Primus would have been ready to go with the key inside, Kramer focussed on the offroad car parked next to it (since it would be the best choice in the forest) - and stole it. Sarah runs, jumps into Rainers car and speeds off, chasing Kramer.
SARAH! NO! ARGH! STUUUUUPIIIIID B… aby!
Rainer realizes that Kramer took the Zephorus keys with him, and that left him with only one choice of transportation…
Meanwhile, the chase between Kramer and Sarah is going on, with Sarah struggling to keep up with the RWD car.
But Kramer is stressed, and the impact in the prison van with the head against the hard wall made him feel dizzy, and he finally lost the focus and lost control over the Yamaguchi, crashing into a tree.
Sarah exits the Primus and looks for Kramer… but the crashed jeep is empty, while Kramer already hid behind the other car, having the gun loaded and ready…
HA! FREEZE! DROP THE GUN AND KICK IT WITH THE HEEL IN MY DIRECTION!
Shit!
DO NOT MOVE! The only reason why I did not shoot you right now is that a policewoman as hostage is the best that could happen, seen from the perspective of a life insurance…
Kramer, you won´t get far.
You are quite a pessimist. Or an optimist, depending what standpoint to choose. You know what? We make a nice drive.
The airport is already secured.
AHAHAHAHA, THE AIRPORT? You are insulting my intelligence. Dont you think I know that? We will drive somewhere else. ENTER THE CAR!
So, where are we heading?
I won´t tell you. Hand me out your mobile phone. You won´t need it, and we don´t have a signal here in the no mans land either. NO TRICKS! I WARN YOU! You are a nice benefit to have, but I don´t need you and I do not hesitate to get rid of you.
Sarah carefully merges the next road, and drives away.
Rainer needs 15 minutes with the bicycle to get to the crash site, and seeing the crashed jeep abandoned, and also the tire tracks of his own car, he realizes that Sarah has been kidnapped and runs to the nearest road, being able to stop an IP.
KRIMINALHAUPTKOMMISSAR RAINER SORDEL! You need to drive me now! Direction… eeh, straight foward!
Crap! My mobile phone! I must have lost it on the way! Do you have one?
These things are super expensive. Would I drive an IP Urbana if I had the money for a mobile phone?
Oh, dont annoy me. I need to think… where is that asshole heading…
Hmmm… the airport is blocked, no chance. Train? No chance. But we can not control the whole coastline. Ibenhafen has too many cops… but if he wants to Porta Minta… Wildufer is the best choice. And the fastest way is driving onto the A2 to Ibenhafen, but leaving a few exits before and then using the L64. LADY; ONTO THE A2 BUT LIGHTSPEED!
Meanwhile, on the A2:
Come on, 85 kph. YOU ARE PLAYING A DANGEROUS GAME BY BUYING THE POLICE TIME!
Hey, I am sure you want to escape by ship, and we are low on gas. If you want to make it to Ibenhafen without a risky stop, then… I wouldn´t speed. Plus, we are unsuspicious by going slow.
FASTER! FASTER!
THIS IS AN URBANA, IT CANT GO FASTER!
Your poverty is really pissing me off, lady.
Sarah is still going as slow as possible, hoping that Rainer is already on his way.
OH COME ON! I`ll risk a fuel stop IF YOU WOULD PLEASE PUT YOUR FOOT ON THE GAAAAAS!
I would not recomm…
I HAVE THE GUN AND I DO NOT NEED YOU, REMEMBER? SPEED UP TO 120 AND NOT A SINGLE LESS!
But Rainer travels at 140 kph… and when Kramer finally ordered Sarah to drive faster, Rainer was no longer far behind.
THERE HE IS! THE BLUE MERIT!
So… what now?
Follow it! What else? I won´t start a gunfight on the left lane now.
But when the elephant race with all these trucks is over, we will fall back.
WHY?
The engine is overheating. Does this look like a sports car?
IP are reliable, we will be fine.
BANG
EH! WHAT IS THIS?
I told you that the car is overheating, this is an Urbana and not a Zephorus! Now my radiator exploded.
FUCK!
Shit, Kramer increases the distance… Ok, lady, drive further right, directly next to the truck. I will change my mean of transport.
ARE YOU CRAZY?
My ex-wife said so, yes… CLOSER!
Rainer jumps onto the truck, climbs it up and jumps over to the one in front of him… trying to get to his Primus before Sarah would get rid of the truck in front of her.
While Sarah can see Rainer doing the dangerous jumps, Kramers mirror is adjusted in a way he can´t see what happens, while the IP has finally to give up - Rainer is now without a “taxi” anymore.
But the distance for the next jump is too far, Rainer almost falls to a certain death but manages to hold on and pull himself up… but that came at the cost of precious time he did not have…
SHIT! THERE THEY GO! FUCK! FUCK!
Ah! That could work.
Rainer sees an open convertible going quite near the truck he is standing on, and decides to use that chance and jumps in it.
HUUUARRRRGHHHGN!
WHAT THE FUCK???
WATCH OUT, FOCUS ON THE ROAD!
WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT ARE YOU DOING THERE???
Chief inspector Rainer Sordel, this is a police chase, speed the fuck up until we close up on a blue Primus Merit!
The car leaves the highway halfway to Ibenhafen, to the surprise of both Sarah and Rainer.
Dude, you got a cellphone?
Yes, but the battery died.
Not my day… Shit. Well, then let´s continue following them, it is more important to know where they are going instead of informing the department…
Half an hour later, Kramer directed Sarah to an abandoned area.
The next left, and there we are! Stop at that entrance!
EXIT! AND NO TRICKS!
What are we doing here… here is … NOTHING!
None of your business.
With a bit of distance, Rainer arrived with his unvoluntary taxi driver.
Inspector… I don´t feel comfortable here… a few kilometers ago there was a gas station with a telephone, dont you think that…
SSSHHH! I need to get information about the situation first. Wait here!
Rainer sneaks around the building, an abandoned power plant, and notices that there are just Kramer and Sarah, but nobody else… he has the urge to immediately enter the building, but is unaware of possible traps, so he decides to inform Boehme as next step.
Inside, Sarah is threatened to go further inside of the building.
Well, that is the perfect place to hide, don´t you think? I guess we still have plenty of time to enjoy ourselves until your colleagues arrive.
You wait here for them?? What? And what is your understanding of enjoyment?
Oh, dont worry, you will soon find out, HAHAHAHAHAHARRRR!

Even on an internet television-show we can’t escape cliffhangers…

am i late? if not ive got many cars suitable for this, some with interiors, some not, its like gambling
it takes a while to make these episodes, so i’m chilling for my 2008 car - depending on what year episode you’re making your car for, you should have time. check the post at the top and compare it to what’s been posted already
UPDATE 2
Production of the next episode is ongoing and will most likely be released this year.
UPDATE: Due to getting the update, I have a bit of trouble adjusting the cars so that they work again. Also I had to create custom photoscenes by manually making 360 HDRI images. So please have understanding that there is some delay, but I plan to have the episode ready as christmas surprise for you
I have even made more than originally announced since I thought it´s a nice surprise, and especially Rainer was only for a short time in a main role, and three episodes are not enough to build the character.
I think everything from the 90s deserves more than just one episode per year, since from the three previous rounds with a whole season, 2 of 3 were set in the 00s.
For the cars: Until 1999 I have enough by now, 2000 already exists (CSCS2), so submissions are still open for 2001-2008, I corrected that in the OP, splitting up in deadlines in january and april 2025.

RAINER! It is about time that you report! Where are you?
Not much time, boss! The abandoned power plant on the B51, Kramer is there and he holds Sarah hostage. Petersen and Kasallek…
Are dead, I know.
Where is Frank?
Here. He survived an explosion unharmed. Rainer, I will call the Spezialeinsatzkommando.
NO TIME! UNTIL THE SEK IS HERE, HE CAN DO WHATEVER WITH SARAH! And the SEKs priority is arresting Kramer at all cost. That means that Sarah…
Is a casualty, yes.
I will not let that happen.
Rainer, no one-man show! I will order Hauptkommissar Schneider and his SEK that Sarahs life has the highest priority.
Bullshit! I know Schneider, that´s a military man from an elite force. He doesn´t think twice before shooting.
Rainer, this is not negotiable. You wait there for backup.
Send me Frank! We will get Sarah out and then Schneider and his army can do whatever they want with Kramer. I got things to do, boss.
Mr. Boehme, he is right.
Frank, you will stay here and wait for the SEK.
Sir, in this case I must disobey the order.
Your career has been exemplary so far, do you really…
My career is not my concern when it is about the lives of my partners.
Fine. Good luck Frank, but don´t try to be a hero.
Meanwhile, Rainer returns to the power plant and searches for an entry, which he finds, but what he sees and hears lets his blood boil…
So, this will nice. You just should be friendlier, damn, I bet you will enjoy it as much as I do.
Just…do me the favor of shooting me now and have fun afterwards…
Ah, you will feel as alive as never before, I promise.
In order to distract Kramer from raping Sarah, Rainer causes a short circuit and an explosion in the control room.
Meanwhile, Frank speeds like a maniac, but secretly knows that he is too far away to stop Rainer in time from doing it alone.
Rainer escapes in order to hide, as Kramer walks towards the explosion, pressing his gun into Sarahs neck…
So, let´s see who distracts our special moments here…
Rainer has the urge to start shooting, but knows he needs to wait for the right moment.
He finally can not wait any longer and opens fire on Kramer, who can dodge the bullet and fire back. Sarah uses the moment to run for her life.
Sadly, Rainer slips on some kind of oil, and can not evade the bullet from Kramer, and is hit in the chest.
Bad luck, you bastard.
Rainer uses his last breath to spit Kramer in the face, who then laughs about Rainer dying in agony, but then notices that Sarah could escape. Sarah is by now too far away for him to catch up, and Kramer realizes that he will lose valuable time if he chases her, and uses the keys to Rainers car that Sarah lost in the escape to get away.
Frank arrives soon after, having a weird feeling and searching for an entrance.
SARAH! Thank god! Damn, what has that asshole done to you?
You are alive? I was never so happy to see you… But Rainer…
Yes, where is he? He managed to get you out, damn, what a guy! Where is…
Sarahs sadness said it all to Frank, so he did not ask any further question. He promises Sarah to come back soon, but runs then inside, hoping that Rainer is NOT dead.
Meanwhile, Kramer speeds through the forest, but turns into a dead end… right into a lake.
Frank then found Rainer, dragged him out of the building and closed the eyes of his partner and waited for the SEK to arrive, not leaving his dead friend alone.
Rainers death is handled by the homicide unit, but Frank orders, without Boehmes consent, Kriminalobermeister Behrendt, to survey Kramers lawyer. After all, the escape of his client brought him a lot of media attention and money, plus, he was the only one to speak in private with Kramer in the prison.
Frank, this is Stefan, he just drove home from his office.
Wait for it! I am sure he has contact with Kramer. Do not stop the observation.
But Frank…
NO DISCUSSION! Kramer killed Rainer, Helmut and Rudi, not to forget 27 other innocent people. And Dr. Schubart changed his Nordwagen Valkyria into a brand new Imperator and paid cash, and that a day after the escape of Kramer. This is not a coincidence.
Soon after, Dr. Schubart returns to his Imperator and drives off, followed by Kriminalobermeister Behrendt.
Ursula, we got a problem. A car is following me. Is Kramer ready to remove my shadow?
He will be, Johann. Don´t worry, just come here as usual.
Although the night is almost over, the officer still follows the lawyer to the docks, and Kramer is waiting in a jeep for his task: Getting rid of Kriminalobermeister Behrendt.
Great, Ursula. So, how is the plan with Kramer?
Well, his book sold a lot and made me almost a millionaire, and now that he will go into exile, he can write a second one about his escape, and this one will make me unbelievably rich.
How about my share for “borrowing” you my client?
Johann, you have been paid exceptionally well. Have you organized the passport for Kramer?
Yes, and you will take care of his collection?
Everything will be moved in the following days. But Kramer insisted on supervising the transport. This is a risk.
You know how much he loves his treasures. You better hurry up, Ursula.
At noon, a young couple wants to have some romantic time at the Berlau city river, but finds a dead body - it is KOM Stefan Behrendt, and soon Frank arrives at the scene.
Inspector Batimus, we already have a first report from the coroner. The cause of death was drowning. Judging from the injuries, the car was hit hard before falling into the water, possibly jamming the driver side door. He made it out, but not in time…
Thanks, eeeh, Mister…?
Walkowski, Jakob Walkowski. I have been transferred to replace officer Petersen. This is Polizeiobermeister Uwe Holtmann, another new colleague…
Thanks, Mr. Walkowski. I wish the reason for our partnership at the highway patrol would be more pleasant.
What are your next steps?
Talk to a profiler. Miss Liehr has studied the case quite well and might be a good help.
Do you mind me giving you company?
Mr. Walkowski, I like that you are interessed in the case, but that is the work for the detectives, not the sergeants. But I will keep you updated, as that case is important for all of us.
Soon after, Frank meets with Petra Liehr.
Frank, I am sorry for your losses. I should have seen this escape coming. Anyway, you wanted some information on him, correct?
Yes. One of my officers died now as well observing the lawyer, but, I have no proof. The divers are searching for the car, but we don´t know where exactly it happened. This can take weeks. What would Kramer do now? Does he have a place he is sentimental about?
Well, the psychopath does not care about humans at all. The only thing he can like are material possessings, like the vintage car collection that his publisher bought for him from his books income.
Wait, his publisher… managed his affairs? I thought it would all be in the hands of his lawyer.
The detailed file report is available for the LKA only, not a normal police station. Ursula Vetter is the cousin of Dr. Schubart and was almost bankrupt until the lawyer told his client to work together with her for the book project, so she definitely owes him something.
Wait, the publisher and the lawyer are related?
That´s why I responded so fast to your meeting request, since it might be helpful for you. Anything else that I can do for you?
Yes, indeed… as a psychatrist, could you please look after Sarah? I think she is in a very bad state after all what happened. Boehme sent her home, and when I checked last she was drunk and destroyed her furniture.
Sure, I will try. Good luck, Frank.
Not soon after, Frank arrives at the office of Ursula Vetter.
Frank interrogates Vetter and uses a little lie: He said that Dr. Schubart has been arrested for the assasination of KOM Behrendt, and for a lesser time in jail, told everything about his cooperation with his cousin. In panic, Vetter runs away onto the rooftop.
To Franks surprise, Vetter jumps off the roof, but lands relatively soft on a truck, then gets onto the street. Frank, totally surprised, needed a few seconds to decide to follow her, taking the same shortcut.
Since her Baumhauer is parked exactly there, her escape is quick - and Frank runs to his car, realizing he has left his coat with the keys inside upstairs.
FUCK! FUCK!
But suddenly a black Rigel appears, with a familiar face inside.
INSPECTOR BATIMUS, GET IN!
Walkowski! What are you…Ah, I don´t care, LETS GO!
Walkowski, where is your uniform and where did you get that undercover car?
That´s a story too long to tell right now. Please make a report, it´s still on the frequency of the drug department, change it for Mamba 12.
The chase goes on, and Walkowski struggles to keep up with Vetter.
But neither can Vetter shake off the cops, so she spins a Cambridge in order to provoke a crash - and it worked, since the cops get involved in the pileup.
Everyone ok?
Damn, Walkowski, I already thought Rainer was a dangerous driver. I should confiscate your license on the spot!
Yeah, but then you can´t get back in with me. The engine is still running, nobody seriously injured, lets continue!
Vetter speeds off, but is a bit too reckless, as she runs a red light and cuts off an ACR - the impact causes Vetters Baumhauer to flip.
Shit, Walkowski, that looks bad. We need her alive!
He, she moves in there. Let´s get her out and locked up until she starts to sing to us.
But the fuel tank got damaged and leaks gasoline, and just when the two cops were ready to get her out of the wreck, the car exploded with a fireball…
At the same time, profiler Petra Liehr tries to help Sarah.
No, no, no! I failed! I allowed Kramer to hold me hostage, and then, when Rainer was shot, I ran like a coward!
Inspector Maier, if you decided to stay, Rainers sacrifice would have been useless. Kramer would have killed you as well as soon as he had no more use for you.
I guess you have to say this in order to make me feel better, but I know the truth, and so do you.
No, I am serious. You did well in that situation, and tried to act as good as possible under the circumstances. You could not do anything for chief inspector Sordel anymore, and it would have been dumb to throw your life away by watching his last words. When he died, he knew he was successful, when he saw your escaping. I have worked a few times with him, and I knew him good enough to be sure of what I just told you.
A bit later, Frank and Jakob, no, Harald Walkowski search for documents in the office of Ursula Vetter.
So, to get it right, Kramer killed your wife years ago, and when your brother was transferred to my department, he followed me to give you information and the chance for a vendetta? That would cost both of you the badge.
Batimus! He is my brother, brothers do that for each other. I take full responsibiltiy, but spare him. Kramer killed your partner, and I was hoping you do for your partner what I would do for mine - doing justice. It was definitely more promising to follow your steps than those of the homicide unit.
That is Boehmes descision, not mine. So far, I can understand your motivation, but the police is an organization with rules and structures for a reason. I will recommend Boehme to keep your brother in serivce, but this is all I can do.
This is more than I can ask for.
Look at that, Walkowski. A transport offer for cars from … Hegerstedt to Porta Minta, the paradise without extradition treaty…
Hm, what cars? OH! Quite nice ones, especially the DCMW…
This is my chance, the profiler said that for Kramer, his cars are the kryptonite. He will be there, I am sure.
You mean, our chance?
NO WAY! You did enough bullshit by now. If you want to keep your job, I would suggest you somehow explain the wreck of the car to your boss as help to the highway patrol in imminent danger.
Batimus, don´t be a stubborn donkey. You know as good as me how dangerous Kramer is. You need a partner out there.
NOT YOU! You are reckless, you are led by emotions, you give a fuck on rules… eh yes, follow me then!
Two hours later, Batimus and Walkowski arrive at the adress, and have a conversation before entering.
OK, so, neither you or me are in charge for this. Either we succeed or hand out our badges together.
I am looking foward to both, as long as we tried our best.
Fine then. One thing, Kriminalhauptmeister. I am the superior, and I will be giving the orders here. If you can not respect this, there is the door handle.
If this is needed…
It is. Let´s go.
Kramer is indeed in the shed, but notices that he has no firearm. Angry abot the fact that he can not shoot the cops instantly, he looks for an escape possibility that lets him leave unnoticed.
Look, Batimus, a DCMW Shariallat Supermacy Twelve. What a beauty. Even the key is in the ignition. May I start the engine?
NO! We are looking for Kramer, not cars.
Well, he is obviously not here, but maybe we can find a trace of him, or something that helps us finding one.
In that moment, Kramer escapes through the window, knowing a truck is parked outside with some cardboard loaded onto the bed, and he runs as fast as he can to the BetterDeals parked outside, also with key ready for the transport company to pick it up for the next day.
DID YOU HEAR THAT, BATIMUS? I THOUGHT YOU CHECKED PROPERLY?
RUN! What are you doing?
Taking the DCMW, we have a better chance with two cars?
IDIOT! Ah, fuck it, then I am getting Kramer solo, I DONT CARE!
Frank reverses and speeds away, following Kramer, Harald Walkowski follows briefly after, as the twelve cylinders needed a few moments to fire up.
Mamba 12-2 to Mamba! In pursuit of mass murderer Erwin Kramer. He tries to join the A2! I need a roadblock. Holtmann, Walkowski, did you follow my instructions?
Of course, inspector. He won´t join the A2, that´s for sure.
All right. Walkowski, tell your damn brother that he needs to learn team work!
Indeed the access is blocked, so Kramer evades the uniformed officers and tries to find another way onto the highway.
And he does - by merging onto the highway in the false direction, directly into oncoming traffic! Despite hesitating for a second, Frank is determined to get the assassin of his partner at all cost and follows.
Harald Walkowski has closed up, but the damaged car blocks the way, and he also hits it, losing Kramer and Frank - at least for now.
On the A2, Kramer causes a total chaos, and keeps the foot pressed on the gas. His non-street-legal race car is smaller and more nimble than usual cars, and the villain makes use of that.
A spinning Schnerblich causes the driver of an Anhultz to lock up and spin as well, so that a LAK joins the mayhem. Frank tries to evade, but the rear tires of his Primus lose grip and send him into the guardrail.
Franks car is tilted onto two wheels, and he is unsuccessful stabilizing it, and it flips and skids into the other guardrail, wrecked and out of the pursuit.
Just as Frank managed to exit the wreck, Harry already appears and manages to squeeze through on two wheels, using the guardrail for wallriding, but more successful than Frank.
Batimus, see, this is how it is done!
Dont waste air, stop talking and ACCELLERATE!
Sure, boss. As I told you, with two cars…
YEAH, YEAH JUST DRIVE! I GOT MY GUN READY!
Kramer is way ahead, but suddenly his Betterdeals makes a weird noise and parts fall off. The steering column broke, and the brakes fail, too… just in the moment a truck is in oncoming traffic. Kramer realizes what will happen now.
YOU WILL NEVER ARREST ME ALIVE! AHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!!
Frank and Harry can watch the accident from far away, and are relieved that the chase is over.
Shit. Walkowski, we were too slow. The next dead person because of him…
The truck driver is your business, you are the highway patrol.
You have a bad sense of humor, Walkowski.
I know.
Something is weird, Walkowski. I should be relieved that Kramer finally got what he deserved, but… I am not. I don´t feel any better.
Sure, because he didnt get what he deserved. That exit was waaaaay too easy and fast.
The next week, Frank is back at the department and withnesses Kriminaloberrat Boehme packing his stuff into boxes.
Boss, what is going on?
Someone has to take responsibility. Three of my men died, and one of them a chief inspector that had to give his life to a colleague that is now forced to live with this for the rest of her life.
Boss, nobody could have expected such a spectecular escape…
It is about responsibility. The helm crashes the ship and it sinks? The captain stays on board. Or leaves, in this case. I am retiring early, and there is nothing that can change my mind. Well, one last thing. I am not sure if Sarah wants to stay, and you need a partner. I have a few files of good inspectors here.
What happened to the Walkowskis?
Jakob can stay, as you said. Blood is thicker than water. And Harald was suspended, it does not look good.
Hm, I think we should improve the statistics and have one unemployed cop less.
Are you sure about that? His record is bad.
Not a single bit. But the man is brave, and he is tough enough. I guess if you promote him to inspector, we might get someone who works like Rainer and can be equally successful.

S04E01: Hot Love, Cold Plan
Trigger Warning: This is supposed to be an accurate 90s cop show, including swearing, political incorrectness (to a certain degree, of course) and the violence seen in these things. Please make sure this is suitable for you before reading.
In a cold february night, a dark Cavaliere drives away, followed by an Authié et Dallier, and at first, the driver does not suspect anything.
The A&D followes unnoticed over dark and lonely country roads, but whenever the driver tries an attempt to start something, another car appears in oncoming traffic… he is clearly up to something.
Finally, the blue Cavaliere Nobile Cesare turns onto the A10 outer city ring, still followed by the other car.
Then it happens: The driver of the A&D speeds up, and does an impressive and reckless pit maneuver, immediately spinning the opponent.
The attacking driver stops and watches his work, the crashed Cavaliere now catches fire. Seeing the plan working, the attacker quickly speeds off.
At the same time, an ACR appears at the scene, just in time to watch the A&D speeding off and remembering the license plate. The driver tries to help the unconscious man in the Cavaliere, but it is too late. He at least could call the cops.
Hello, police? This is Ulf Schelling calling from the A10. I have to report a crime! And I have the plate number!
An hour later, Harald Walkowski appears at the crime scene, and not being in a really good mood.
JAKOB! WHY ARE YOU CALLING YOUR BROTHER OUT OF BED AT 3 AM FOR A FUCKING TRAFFIC ACCIDENT? IT IS AS COLD AS IN THE BATTLE OF KRONGRAD!
Hey, Harald, calm down. This is no usual accident, this was a crime, so you are in charge and Frank did not answer the phone.
Propably too drunk since he is jealous on that guy dating Sarah. And Sarah is busy fucking the dude she is dating. Oh, what a wonderful world. So, what makes this a crime?
A businessman watched it happening, a large sedan has purposedly rammed this car and made it flip and explode. He claims it was an ice-cold professional, and that he has seen such a keen move only in television yet, in Notruf 110.
I do not get the excitement for this garbage, especially since I have to see it in real life. So, a murder then? Show me the wreck.
Well, I guess that poor guy won´t be identified anytime soon by the coroner. But as soon as the wreck has cooled down, we might get the chassis number. Look it up in the register then and put it on my desk. HOLTMANN! CALL THE KTU TO TOW IT! Jakob, you can check the plate that this withness gave you.
And what are you doing then, Harry?
Waking up Frank. If the driver is aware of being seen, he will try to wipe out all traces as fast as possible, and we must be faster.
Later, in the office:
Frank, I got all information we need. The dark blue Cavaliere was registrated on Martin Mierendorff, owner of a shady model agency. The Authié et Dallier belongs to René Bollmann, a lawyer. I guess we split up and…
NO SPLITTING UP! We need to get the A&D as soon as possible as evidence before it becomes destroyed! ADRESS NOW!
Frank speeds away to the adress, but Bollmann is not there. From his neighbours they hear that he was angry about finding his car damaged on the parking lot and then called a taxi.
Frank, that´s not the kind of action you do when you used your car for ramming last night.
True, but let us first secure the evidence, then make theories.
With the hint of the neighbours where the rented parking space is, Frank rushes to it, hoping to still find the car.
Look, Harry! DARK BLUE PAINT SCRATCHES! Get us the criminal technicians, I want fingerprints, hairs, everything. Mamba 12-2 to Mamba, send a patrol car to take possession of evidence, a car used in a murder. Location is upper parking deck at Loewestraße 106.
Where are we heading, Frank?
Interrogating Bollmann of course. If it was not him, he might have a clue who could have stolen his car.
Frank interrogates Bollmann in his office, and Bollmann immediately denies having driven the car in the night.
I just thought it was just hit there.
So, why did you not call the police then? I have no report about your car being stolen and damaged.
It could as well been a harmless hit and run, and I had an urgent appointment in court.
COME ON! That damage is not what happens on a parking lot at standstill. The whole front chassis is warped, and a man died. Martin Mierendorff, do you know him? And, do you have an alibi?
Martin Mierendorff, you said? Yes, I have an alibi but I would prefer to keep it private unless I am under arrest.
YOU WILL WALK OUT OF HERE IN HANDCUFFS WITHOUT ALIBI! You want to tell me that a totalled car is a minor hit and run, and you reacted a bit weird at the name of the victim. That´s enough for me already to try it with an arrest warrant.
Well, I spent the night with Regina Mierendorff.
Wait… is that…
Yes, the widow of the man that was killed, unfortunately.
YOU MUST BE JOKING!
As next step, Frank and Harry visit Regina Mierendorff at home.
So, the suspect who owns the ramming car slept with the wife of the victim?
Yes, it is again such a mess of a case. This stinks a lot. Anyway… let´s ring.
Frank, does that house have a bigger backdoor? Not even Sarah would fit through that narrow door frame.
It´s the entrance for the models that Mierendorff casted here.
WHAT? And you tell me that case is the thing that stinks the most here…
Actually Harry, it is your shoes, because you just stepped in dogshit. DONT YOU DARE TO RUIN MY FLOOR MATS WITH THAT! The car is brand new!
Quite a lot of money, Mrs. Mierendorff.
In our business, we… have a lot of possibilities. You are not looking that bad either, inspector Bastion.
Batimus. Anyway, I guess your husband had many enemies then.
Of course… Success raises jealousy. Still, he was a tyrant, and I secretly took a lawyer for a possible divorce… his name is René Bollmann.
Tell me more. How is he now fitting into that puzzle?
He told me he wants to spare me the painful divorce, and promised me to … well, solve the problem out of court for me.
What?
With that testimony, Frank and Harry arrest René Bollmann.
So, that was a case solved really fast, a bit too fast if you ask me.
Indeed, Harry, indeed. Something stinks.
And it is not my shoes this time. So, you believe Bollmann?
A man that intelligent would not use his own car and then just park it back where it belongs. Yes, he might thought that he would be covered by Mrs. Mierendorff and did not expect the backstabbing, but still…
In the night, Walkowski is once again woken up by the department, and drives to a diner restaurant…
So, what is it this late, madam?
Call me Susy. So, I read the newspaper.
We all do sometimes, nothing worth confessing to the police…
My boyfriend cheats me, and to have proof, I followed him. And I saw him stealing an Audi et Daimler…
A what?
The car that was used in the attack on the A10 last night. There was an example picture of the model and he definitely stole that in a parking garage… Loewestraße. Sadly I ran out of gas and could not follow him, but I guess he drove to his bitch.
Loewestraße? Thanks, that is helpful indeed. So, tell me about your boyfriend then.
Ex-boyfriend. I don´t want unfaithful criminals anymore.
Your parents should be proud now. Anyway, I am listening…
The next morning Frank and Harry meet at the department, and Frank asked Harry to follow him to the KTU.
So, anything new about that car, or what?
Yes. I checked everything, and the paint scratches are definitely from Mierendorffs Cavaliere. But: The seating position is awkward. It definitely does not fit Bollmann. Which means somebody else must have driven it.
And I know who it was.
What?
Get in, we´ll have a chat with the crash driver.
So, you and Sarah have given the information to the press without asking Schneider or at least me?
Was it helpful or not?
That is not the point. Anyway, yes, it was helpful.
Who is our suspect?
Kevin Remmel. Previously convicted with insurance fraud from faked car crashes. Amateur stock car derby driver. Earns his money as stuntman.
Definitely someone with the skill needed to sent Martin Mierendorff to hell with one single ramming.
Hey Remmel, busy practicing for your next scam?
Who are you bastard? Come here, I will stuff your mouth.
Hey gorilla, can you read this?
A badge? Inspector… Walkowski… ah, cops, are you bored again? What does the highway patrol do on lonely country roads? Are you too dumb to read roadmaps and want me to show you the way back?
Remmel, I am here for showing you the way to jail. You stole a car and killed Martin Mierendorff with quite a keen ramming maneuver. Really, you did impressive work there. Too bad you were seen doing it.
I have an alibi, so fuck off. I can give you all the names you need, I was practicing some stunt driving on backroads together with a few friends.
In the evening, in the office, Kriminaloberkommissar Frank Batimus discusses with Kriminalrat Bernd Schneider, his superior officer.
No way, Mr. Batimus. The alibi is waterproof.
YES, BECAUSE THE TWO GUYS WERE INVOLVED IN REMMELS SCAMS. Professional criminals, come on, they lie.
A jealous ex is also not too credible.
But according to Harry she could name the exact spot where Bollmanns car was stolen, and that detail was NOT given to the press. She is not lying for me.
I see your point, but proving Remmels alibi wrong is an almost impossible task. And the forensics did not find proof that Remmel was in the car, no DNA found. The seating position alone… that is too vague.
Anyway, I have ordered Harry and Sarah for surveillance of the widow and Remmel.
While Remmel just commits a few traffic offenses and otherwise does not do a lot, Mrs. Mierendorff and him finally meet at night, and the two officers finally know what they wanted to find out and have a night snack in Berlau.
Sarah, we were right. I guess they are not meeting just for eating dinner, right?
I suspect they are not, true.
So, what if Mierendorff and Remmel made a conspiracy against Bollmann?
I have an idea how to find out, I just need the right moment for it.
The next day, Sarah is again observing the house of Regina Mierendorff, when suddenly a Turbo Frost delivery truck appears.
STOP, POLICE! Which house are you visiting?
Nr. 35, the Mierendorffs.
PIZZA WITH KEBAP AND PINEAPPLE?
We are not in Frunia, you can not arrest me for that, madam.
Still, its confiscated now. Let me explain it…
Sarah sneaks in as Pizza delivery girl and places a bugging device in the living room. Indeed it is revealed that they have an affair, but not much more. She wants to make him her new business partner.
At the evening update, Captain Schneider is frustrated to not have got more, and is very pissed off about these methods since the bugging is illegal without being approved by a judge, but Frank tells his captain to calm down because he has a plan.
The next day, Remmel is alone in the house, and he rings at the doorbell, doing a keen bluff, and also secretly removing the bugging device, to erease all evidence for his dirty trick.
Inspector dressman! Are you bored, or should I teach you driving?
Where is Mrs. Mierendorff?
I don´t know. I am just here for … eeh, fixing the washing machine.
I can tell you where your affair is. She is right now visiting René Bollmann in prison, right after I left. You know what? Bollmann told me that Regina wants to give you 50 percent of the model agency, but thinks that a… sorry… man with his brain in the upper arms might not be suiting the task. Bollmann as a lawyer, yes, he has not your quality in bed, but he is smart. The love carousel of Regina Mierendorff rotates again, but not in your favour. They now make a plan to get Bollmann out of prison, and you in.
BULLSHIT!
If I was you, I would cooperate with the police before it is too late. Ask yourself: How would I know if that what I said wasn´t true?
OUT!
As you like… should I take the trash out, too?
But the events took a dangerous turn: When Mrs. Mierendorff returned, Remmel confronted her, and a heated argument started, in which Remmel pushed his affair down the stairs, and Regina Mierendorff died from a broken neck immediately. The neighbours reported it, and Frank and Harry respond as they are nearby, since Frank suspected that something MIGHT go wrong…
HARRY! BACK OFF! This will be an amok drive, he has nothing to lose anymore, and he is a fucking derby racer.
So what? It would not have happened if you did not do your dirty tricks. Since your partner has died, not only Sarah is completely bonkers but you too!
WHAT?
Yes, it feels to me that you really want to prove that you are now a worthy number one, which you are, but you push it too far.
Now you push it too far by making this maniac drive like the devil himself. WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
THAT IS HOW IT IS MADE, REMMEL!
He won´t stop.
He has to.
But with his huge Nonozo Admiral 4.0 V8 4x4 truck, Remmel has a true weapon in these road conditions, and does what he can do best: Ramming.
SO MUCH FOR HE HAS TO STOP!
He won´t beat me, Frank, that´s for sure!
HARRY! THIS IS NOT A BANGER RACE! Shit, he is causing a mayhem here. Break off pursuit and I call a helicopter now.
Frank, if you act obsessed with your job, I can show you the mirror. That guy is my booty. Like you could not accept Mierendorff and Remmel getting away with a crime, I can not let him do an amok drive right into Berlau.
NOW! FRANK, ATTENTION!
OOOOOH CRAAAAAAAAAAAP!
The following Anhultz evades into the guardrail, but still gets hit by the Nonozo that then flips over the guardrail, skidding down the cliff until stopped by a rock. When Frank and Harry run to the scene to get Remmel out of the wreck, it explodes…
SHIT! HARRY, THAT WAS WHAT I MEANT WITH I SHOULD CALL A HELICOPTER!
Sorry, I was just mad at you risking the life of Mrs. Mierendorff for the case, even if she was a bad bitch, I don´t think that this was correct. I didn´t plan to kill Remmel in the chase.
NEITHER DID I WANT THE DEATH OF MIERENDORFF, DAMN! Well, at least, Harry, you are a damn good stock car driver. But I guess this won´t give you a praise from Schneider. THE CAR IS TOTALLED!
In my defense, I didn´t like the grey cloth interior anyway. It was getting really filthy in this weather.
HARRY!
Let´s just pretend this is a TV cop show and the car we used was prototype that had to be scrapped anyway, ok?
Please just stop. Something still feels wrong in this case, I must have overlooked a detail.
Frank, Mierendorff had an affair with Bollmann and Remmel, and sacrificed Bollmann to get rid of the boring lover and the tyrannic husband at once. The case is solved.
TWO DAYS LATER
Sarah, when is Bollmann released again?
5 Minutes ago, it´s 13:05.
Crap. But getting the theory waterproof took me longer than I thought.
GOOD! He is still getting into the taxi. That´s what I call luck.
Inspector Batimus! You wanted to apologize for false accusation? Or drive me home? I already got a taxi, but I look foward to hearing your apology.
It really looks if I owe you one, right? And I really thought, damn, you have been played really dirty. But do you know what bothered me a lot in this case?
You being wrong for arresting me? It happens to the best, don´t worry.
No. I asked myself, how would an upper-class lady like Regina Mierrendorf get together with a berserk like Kevin Remmel? I mean, her having a well-mannered lawyer as lover, that is easy to get, but Remmel… This did not leave me in peace, and then I started digging up the old dusty files. You defended the car expert Edgar Klevicz in 1992 for insurance fraud. And then, guess who was one of his partners in crime?
I have no idea, this was too long ago.
Kevin Remmel. Still, this might not be enough for making you look suspicious. But, what if you indeed did remember Remmel as capable crash driver, and made the perfect plan to get rid of Martin Mierendorff? You have an alibi while your car is used for a crash, and nobody would suspect Remmel as total stranger. But Remmel followed his own interests: At a meetup to develop a plan, Mrs. Mierendorff and he fell in love with each other, and your good plan became the absolutely perfect plan: They smoothly did it with you as perfect scapegoat.
A very absurd theory, Mr. Batimus.
I think it makes perfect sense. Mr. Bollmann, you can unload your bag again. I hereby arrest you for incitement of murder.
NOT WITH ME!
Bollmann knocks down the taxi driver and steals the vehicle, and Frank was a second too slow to get grip of Bollmann in the driver seat.
FRANK! Stop jogging and get in!
Sarah, switch over, I will…
NO YOU WON´T! I WANT TO DRIVE!
Don´t trash the car, it is brand new and Schneider is already VERY pissed about Harrys…
Why didn´t you just take the keys out of the taxi?
Sarah, I had to improvise that arrest really fast. Mamba 12-2 to Mamba, in pursuit of a Yamaguchi Zen taxi heading from Berlau to Dehlitz via Vinthaler Chaussee. Please block the A2 there.
Frank, that block is already there.
How that?
They demolish the old fragile bridge on the A2. The whole highway is blocked since this will be a MASSIVE detonation.
So, the road will be a dead end?
Exactly.
So much for your dead end, Frank, he does not seem to slow down.
THAT MAN MUST BE TOTALLY OUT OF HIS MIND… Fuck, or unaware of the demolishing of the bridge. MAMBA 12-2 TO MAMBA, WHEN IS THE DETONATION?
SARAH! HEAD DOWN! THE POLE!
AAAAAAAHH!
FUCK THAT WAS CLOSE!
Damn, I thought that it would impale you…
Mamba 12 to Mamba 12-2, Frank, are you still alive?
I am. So, when is the detonation?
In two minutes and 34 seconds. 33. 32. SO GET THE FUCK OUT OF THERE. I try my best to get the guy at the red button on the line to stop it, but that might fail.
Roger, Holtmann.
Sarah, you heard him, stop the car.
No way I am breaking off a pursuit. We have the faster car, we almost have him.
SARAH, THIS IS AN ORDER!
Frank, in two minutes whatever we have already passed the bridge at that speed. It will detonate behind us, it is even already in sight. We will have passed it in a minute.
Nonononono, STOP, SARAH, STOP!
You see the bridge? He´ll make it, and so will we.
Sarah, since Rainer died you are on one suicide action after the other, and you barely escaped death with severe injuries. PLEASE SEE YOUR THERAPIST! I don´t want to lose you as well, AND RIGHT NOW I ALSO DO NOT WANT TO LOSE MY OWN LIFE AS WELL!
Are you scared, Frank?
FUCK YES AND NOW STOP!
Me too. It is my fault that Rainer is dead, but I don´t want to kill you as well.
Thanks, Sarah… For a second, I thought you would really kill us.
I wouldn´t. See? He now passes the bridge and everything is fine. So much for…
BOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMM
Frank… I take everything back… I am so happy that I listened to your advice…
GUESS HOW HAPPY I AM ABOUT THAT???
Frank, can I ask you one thing?
You already did with this question, but proceed.
I guess Rainer had the same chance of getting killed like we did now, yet he went in to rescue me and paid with his life. Did he know the risk?
He absolutely did, and he knew it was worth it. He felt it by heart, just like you now felt that the risk wasn´t worth it. And both Rainer and you were right in the situations you faced.
